Which Way Is Up

Skipping down the stairs,
Living life without a care.
Staring back at deaths constant stare.
Lungs polluting the air.
Over here then over there.
Not knowing where.
Stuck in the same direction.
Diseased without a cure.
Infected with imperfection.
Injecting anxiety into my veins.
Watching the silver sky pour rain.
Drenching the world in all its pain.
Puddles of broken dreams & its stains.
A walk down memory lane,
Moments of glory & fame.
Despair & shame.
Fun & games.
Calling names.
Fearless & not afraid.
Unique or all the same.
Pour on the gasoline & light the flame.
