Fly

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins

Again, something i wrote off the top of my head.

Somedays i just wanna jump and spread my wings.

I just wanna melt my heart, pour it out and sing.

But everytime i go to do it i just fall to fiends

I hate it that i don't know what my own life means.

Do we all? We just fall off the ball to goals that we think that we can't reach.

Were born on a leash, You dream, get Bashed with words, collapse, repeat.

I know i sound like a parrot, It's apparent that parents inherit this same song, dance, and beat.

But i ain't beat, i'm gonna fight today

And come back with comebacks you won't say.

Oh i got a blackened eye? I got a blackened mind

Mind you that theres not word that i can't rhyme.

It's time, My eyes burn from juice from oranges.

My entire social life based off of broken syringes.

Me dead today, strike me, i'll leave my poetry, behind me

I'll be,Just a dead expectancy. So I'll expect to see

An inspection, a fetch from a professor that will use me in a lecture.

"Xavier Fox rocks, Every word is meaningful what he said"

Please, for gods sake, don't hold back that stuff until i'm dead.

Great read and great thought process too .. I like where you are heading ... I would love to see you revisit this poem and ask yourself what you can do to make it even better.

For example, read it aloud and see how it flows. Check your rhyming and ask if the words really match and perhaps check your grammar again, incorrect grammar if not intentionally used can be distracting.

You have incredible depth of vision, you poetry will only improve from here if you keep writing and revising .. well done xx
