Adrift

I am untethered
A green globe drifting, floating
Party balloon of the gods
Foiled favor gone too far, let go
Having given up the ghost
Denied the host
A proper gift, goodbye
I will not be played with
POP!

    • Thanks. It could be, but could also be about freedom, or it could be darkly humorous. I felt all of those things when writing it.
