the top has come down
so many above
its finally time

i'm often a clown
too often a shrug
wishing for inside

the mirror has told
with thoughts so bold

the top has come down

fingers of digital essence
lips missing the agression
a stomach wrought with butter
just a simple urge to fly

insecurity at its highest hope
being taken again

a strange passion for life
some say
a strange take on what's given
some say
a love for all but hatred
all but that so sacred

rambling endlessly i found
some sort of wellness on high ground
sure i fell, haven't we all

a climb through hell's depths
for not just the adept
a dime for the effort
a dollar for us all

so long before
so unsure
some say, some pray

out of the water and into the light
out of the darkness unprepared for the night
into love with hearts ablazed
without distance needed today
into the world with only a chance
into the world under circumstance

finally the top came down

J.L. Koehler
Peace, Love, and Happiness

Interesting poem. You've got the handle of writing. Keep at it!

"You do what you do, you say what you say, you try to be everything to everyone... come on now, do that stupid dance for me" -Everclear
