Upside Down
January 28, 2019
I step outside and I look around.
Is it me, or the world, that is upside down?
My head’s on the ground with my feet in the clouds.
I’m stuck in a labyrinth with my string all unwound.
Of course,
Direction doesn’t much matter when you’re upside down.
So I look down at the sky.
Is this my chance to finally fly?
If I sink down so low, does that get me high?
I tell myself yes, to solid ground, I say bye.
Of course,
Soon, I’ll find out my-self-reassurance was a lie.
When I get to the top, I once again look around.
I find there isn’t a good soul to be found.
Unknowingly, I begin to fall up, fast approaching the ground,
And when I land, I land face-down.
Of course,
It’s hard to tell what won’t be true when you’re upside down.
