I want to feel the shaking of the fingers and the stars in my toes and see eternity in the back of my eyelids.

I want to go out in a ball of flame, soaring high over the awe of spectators who will run home to tell their mothers and lovers about the wonder they have seen, the girl who glowed in red and green.

I want my heart to burst with all the passion that I never had and my brain to absolutely dance with energy that will compensate for all those sleepless nights.
I want to scream with terror at the wonder of it all and wonder that anyone would choose to stay when there are so many fine ways to try.
