The Forever Unknown Name
What does F.U.N stand for?
Failure to Understand Negligence?
Yes? Well,
if that is the case,
then I do have a F.U.N attitude
Always listening to elders
staying home twenty-four seven
studying for those big tests
repeating those same steps
like a one hit wonder
with a broken record.
I have to admit
to be born with this trait
sucks the life out of you
from head to toe
as if the devil is hugging my ankles
while God gripped his five fingers
to the sides of my face
trying to lift me to heaven.
Sadly, I'am stuck
on this big rock until I know
what that gruesome word means.
I pondered all day
all night
with headaches
keeping these horns out of sight
like a good little angel on a leash
without wings
and colorblind
with the help of black and white
and with these poor eyes
I saw the impossible
a poor soul
letting go of a grey balloon.
Soon,
it turned blue.
I finally caught the truth
on the palms of my hands
That I'am who I'am
human
not a slave
leashed in a birdcage
so elders, I will eternally muffle your wisdoms
no God or devil will lift me
I'm leaving this place
whether you like it or not
for good
floating away
sinking a needle
to expose my flaws
like a balloon.
So...
What does F.U.N stand for?
