I was inspired to write this poem because at the time I was sad. I was frustrated and connfused and couldn't find my place in the world. The balloon represents me and all those people whho are like me in that aspect. I wanted to explore the world and see what it has to offer and discover my place. The balloon wants to see the world and find what he likes to do. The person holding onto the balloon throughout this whole thng represents the other half of me that tells me what to do. Even though I wanted to be released into the arms of the world I know that it is dangerous out there and I might not be ready yet for what it has to offer. I wrote this poem to find out what to do.
