Wave

A Poem by Rachel Landes

How many haters
Do I have to remember 
Hate me
And remember why they never smile back
Do I have to hate you back
I'd rather not

I'd rather see how small it all seems 
From the Sky
So fly 
Away 
From it all
With the wind
That I have to feel 
To fly

What would I do 
Can't bury the soul
Birds fly
So I am flying
I am doing what I was born to do

And when I am done
Yes you can step on me
You can say what you wish about me
And you can start buying flowers for me
And give the writer six words on a headstone
Words I have never written
And my only truth will be a lie
And I will finally be captured on the ground

In the dirt where I lie
Straining inside of me
A spark inside 
The muddled words
And worlds
Wanting to be spoken
But they do not speak to me
Do they speak to you

I alone
Do not even know
Who is speaking
And the story teller
Does not know
How her own story goes

Did you know 
that no one knows
What is going on 
What on earth
Is really on earth

What doesn't dream
Of grazing the clouds and sky
And being their own skyline
And defying gravity

Because gravity is
For those who believe 
In coming down to earth
Like dropping leaves
Like flies
Like bees

The buzz is that 
I am forever
Lost 
To this world
And you can find me
In an alternative
Book 
By 
Another writer

When you read my writing
And see the gaps
And that will be your fulfilment
