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?
