Up There

What Is better, Up or Down?

Up there.

I wonder what's up there?

I wonder why it's up there?

Maybe I could be up there?

Why I am not is unclear.

Why I am not is unfair.

Maybe life is good up there.

Better living than down here.

I wanna be up there.

Give me ways to get up there.

Can a ladder get up there?

Can stairs get me to up there?

I just wanna be up there.

No more living it down here.

Anyone hear me up there?

Theres no way to get up there.

Maybe thats why Im down here.

I don't need to be up there.

Kind of glad that I'm down here.

When I'm down and I'm down here.

I can only look up there.

Knowing that it's still up there.

Happy that's it's still up there.

The poem describes what you are trying to describe
Sorry, I know you're probably wondering what I meant by that.

It's okay this was always a trick poem of mine.

This screams to be Wizard of Oz. As I read it all I could think of is "if happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why, can't I?" I love that line, probably my favorite in the whole song. I love that this brought that to me. Thank you! Nice job.

Thank you! I'm glad if gave some nostalgia of that beautiful song.

The questions, "I wonder what's up there? I wonder why it's up there?" stands out a lot! I has a great flow to it and I really enjoy. This poem shows a lot of emotions and thoughts. It is a wonderful work of art! I love it! :)

Thanks! I wanted this to share what some do not. Questioning what we are told not to is what gives us answer to more than just that one question.

[Sharon]

Yup. Your writing always shines beautifully. I must admit, I am jealous of your poetic work.

[Jonah V. Syx]

Don't be. I am small time. I just take what life gives me and make this.

[Sharon]

You've got talent! :P

[Jonah V. Syx]

As do you. I like the way you tell these life matters with such force.

[Sharon]

Thank you for your encouragement! :)
