Man in the Sky

I talked to the man in the sky

He told me it’s my time to die

So I got on the plane

With fear on my brain

Yet they ask why I’m so scared to fly

I asked my mom to sit by the wall

I say it’s because I’m so tall

I explain it’s the danger

Which makes me sound stranger

And then she stops listening at all

I decided I should straighten my tie

To distract while the plane starts to fly

But the engine starts stalling

And the plane starts falling

I should listen to the man in the sky

Something wrong with this poem?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
