Defying Gravity from Wicked [Song Challenge]

I looked down as my stomach churned.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game.

I watched as he jumped off, hitting the water below us with a splash. This made my head spin in anxiousness.

Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts.

As I looked down one final time, I felt my feet touching the edge of the rocky cliff.

Close my eyes and leap.

My scream of pure bliss pierced the air and seemed to echo off the jagged rocks.

It’s time to try
Defying gravity!

I felt the breeze hitting my face, pushing my hair back in a wild frenzy.

I’m through accepting limits
‘Cuz someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But ‘till I try, I’ll never know.

I felt as if I was flying.

Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down.

Then, as I came down with a splash, I felt amazing.

I was unstoppable.
