Head In The Clouds.

Powerful Words by Ellen Hopkins

Strong

enough to latch on

to me, bear the weight and

lift

me, induce buoyancy,

float me in a brilliant, blue sky

above

the reach of personal demons.

So peaceful, in the canopy, beyond

distress

and self-incrimination. I wanted

to stay there forever.

Impossible

of course. Life drove away

and almost immediately,

fantasy

clamped down around me,

slammed me back down to Earth.

Wrap your head around that. Its some deep ass shit eh? Hahaha. =] Nothing beats having your mind in the clouds when you're just trynna stop life momentarily and not have to worry about shit..... But it sucks when you have to return to reality! ahaha. Mmhmmm. Ellen Hopkins is pretty tight. I had to post this poem from her book "Crank" kuz it was the one that hella stood out to me.
