THROUGH YOUTUBES EYES

THROUGH YOUTUBES EYES

Hey you,Ā 
YeahĀ 
You Ā 
Look up hereĀ 
Look at me worldĀ 
I have no fearĀ 

I climb for funĀ 
I climb for the fameĀ 
You tubes my audience
They fan my flamesĀ 
I climb high
In to the skyĀ 
My cameraĀ 
My weaponĀ 
A selfie my prizeĀ 

Gaining more fans
is my aimĀ 
So what if it rainsĀ 
I don’t careĀ 
I’ll climb even higherĀ 
Cause you tube fansĀ 
Give me the power
Give me the strength
To climb the highestĀ 
Of TowersĀ 

I hold on
with just one handĀ 
Camera ready in my other handĀ 
Let the wind
blow through my hairĀ 
As people below
stand and stareĀ 

You see
I have this flairĀ 
I like the rushĀ 
I like the danger
Makes me feel invincible
Makes my adrenaline runĀ 
This is not fun
It just has to be doneĀ 

Watch now as
I swing to and fro
Dare me nowĀ 
Dare me to let goĀ 
Come on YouTubeĀ 
I need more likesĀ 
What do I have to doĀ 
To get those hits?
Defy gravity,
ride a bike?Ā 

Well watch me nowĀ 
I’ll walk to the edgeĀ 
And look downĀ 
People below scatter like antsĀ 
If they were up here now
they’dĀ 
Have brown soiled pantsĀ 

But not meĀ 
Eh Ā 
Look at me goĀ 
Hanging aroundĀ 
With nowhere to go
Straight down
is my only routeĀ 
Maybe that will get me
the ultimateĀ 
tribute

Maybe finally
I’ll draw the crowdsĀ 
Make me lots of moneyĀ 
So that I canĀ 
Buy my niceĀ 
Big houseĀ 

I crave
the attentionĀ 
the gloryĀ 
the fameĀ 
one million hitsĀ 
is my end gameĀ 
until I reach thatĀ 
I will continue to climb
Higher and higherĀ 
Into the skyĀ 

Camera in handĀ 
I’ll take that perfect shotĀ 
Load it onto you tubeĀ 
Watch the views riseĀ 
hoping finally
I’ll be seen
through you tubes
eyes
Ā

Broken

Lost
Fearful, afraid
Trees sway, brace,
catching the breeze, owls
toot and hoot...

Poem -

Nobody to be saved

Washed ashore
Blood drips from salt encrusted rock
Body bloated, two feet one sock

Poem -

life is just a breath

Peaks of emerald green
Visions so serene
Sunsets lighting valleys
Like they are on...

Empty glasses in your kitchen
Broken bottle on the floor
Glass cuts me to pieces
