Float

Hand floating on air out the window
The tree's and the world fly by
The war that they play on the radio
Speaks of sons that are destined to die

^^ First, i thought of the world wars. idk why, but it always seemed to me like that was so much more of a media war, but in reality, today's wars are so much more televised. i liked the second line a lot..it sort of clashes with the bottome two. the freedom and then the opression.

Close your eyes and start drifting away
A half an hour nap in the passenger seat
You think of your angels, your loves, and your friends
Cause without them you know, you'd be dead on some street

^^"And you say, I'm not scared of anything but losing you guys.." whenever i'm stuck in the car with my mom, that's what i do. i think of you guys...

The world can tear you to shreds
But your locked away in a car, safe from it all
Then the monster's mouth closes, and you're underneath
That's when you can feel yourself fall

^^ this stanza made me want to cry. it's just...idk. it was my favourite.

The car drives by the broken trees
Thunder hit a long time ago
They'd have stories to tell, and song they would sing
I guess nobody wants to know

^^ Sometimes you just can't see the people who really and actually want to know...again, i like the contrast between trees, which are sort of free and natural and then the brokeneness, which to me, brings in the rest of the world..

the poem isn't what i thought it'd be, based off of the title and the category...but i really like it nontheless...

5/5
