I knew, all along,
I knew…
Even when your
Laughter licked my
Back, as I walked
Through the village.
Even when you
Mocked me, and
Threw your vile
Giggles in my sillage.
Tell me, who’s laughing
Now??
You can all stay
In your miserable dirt
And drag yourself,
do your stupid work!
I was never good enough,
For your narrow minds.
You needed not love me
But you could’ve been kind…
Who cares? Look at me,
I’m flying! I’m the chosen
One, don’t even bother
Missing me, when I’m gone,
When I am gone…
This was writen for Kira, from Kira Scribbled. She invited her readers to put some words on her latest artwork. You can see Kira’s original drawing here. Please take a minute to visit the brilliant, fun and reeeeaaaally talented lady, and tell her Cyranny says “hi”!

I’m not sure why my name isn’t on this above comment… I’ve been foiled by tech again I suppose.

I tried to post this on Kira’s page …. but can’t seem to get it to work.
But
For what it’s worth …. here is my take
Let gravity bring
Me down
From this string
Of bright colours
To fade
Like all others
To descend
To end
In the grey
Rebirth
Come what may
With life on earth

I love it! A decending instead of floating away. This is actually close to my idea on it and thank you so much for contributing. 😊
Such fun!

Perhaps we could all go into the greeting card business with Kira doing most of the hard work.
