So I have been trying out new poetry styles, and I thought I would take a stab at abstract! Since abstract can mean so many different things I am not sure weather I did it correctly, or if there even is a correct way to do it. I think its supposed to be more artsy and harder to understand haha. Well derek didnt really get it, but Tanya got it right away so I still have no idea if its any good, I kinda like though :)
I Can't Fly
I have lingered on this tightrope
for so long
for so long
I've taken baby steps strait out the window
and I have recently learned that I can't fly
and when your falling through the air
you start to understand
some things were never there
some things were never planed
when I tend to lean to far in one direction
strait lines never get me there
and I have never been very fond of circles
in fact they're far worse then a square
I may allow myself around you one day
when I don't fear the suffocation of the others
a explosive ticking time bomb
that will detonate with words that smother
I have been scaling this mountain
everyday
everyday
and I have tried jumping off this tightrope
but I have recently learned that I can't fly
