Balloons
October 3, 2022
Are you a balloon?
Your face is a bright pink color.
I’ve seen you make children smile.
I find myself always wanting to hold on like you might float into the clouds if I let go.
Are you a balloon?
Because you twist and bend yourself into someone else.
You cling onto me as if someone charged you with static, you don’t let go.
Are you a balloon? I ask now three times.
Because I see you deflating.
You can still meet the stars mon amour, I just need to let you go.

I have personally held onto things and people hoping that if I didn't let go things would work out. My poem here really should be telling us that it is okay to let go of the things in our lives that hurt us. I think it is important to live for yourself and recognize when we need to stop holding on to things that aren't changing for the better.
