Over 16,537,960 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
The day I pealed fresh eyes
To view the world
For the first time.
Innocence intact
I went on the run,
Never looking back.
The beach painted my toes in red
As if the grains of sand
Were billions of burning coals.
I longed for an oasis I could never reach.
All the while learning lessons
A professor couldn’t teach.
My footprints covered the peak of Everest
As if the snow were wet cement
I was 29 000 feet tall
Screaming, "who am I" into the quiet,
I am me after all
Echoed as if I were preaching
Into an empty bottle of my favorite drink.
Smoke billowed from my fingertip
As if it were a loaded gun
As I carved my signature into the sun
God was just a step away
but again I was on the run.
Poem By Tammy C.
