My blue balloon floated away <br />She said she doesn’t love me today <br />I see you by the ocean and wish that you would drown <br />I would be sad at first but then joy would come around <br /> <br />I walk along the beach picking up the missing pieces of myself <br />I want to be a butterfly like everyone else <br />But I’m just a worm being eaten by the birds <br />The hardest part is living; we live in a beautiful world <br /> <br />I want to be big, strong, and fast; run and be free <br />So no one can catch me but then no one could ever save me <br />I’m just a stupid boy, a dreamer,21 pages of symbols and marks <br />You left your marks on some pages but I tore out those parts <br /> <br />The sky fell on my head <br />My blue balloon turned red <br />The gates of heaven closed on me <br />I’m one dropp of water in the desert sea <br /> <br />My bones turn to ashes and the pages turn to dust <br />You think that you are special better than the rest of us <br />You’re the ending to my new start <br />I’m the splinter deep within your heart<br /><br />Joey Cortez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blue-ballon/
