Identical Airplanes Poem by Marijke McKinney

The whole world’s got problems
None of mine matter
It’s like an airplane floating over ahead

There’s a young girl down there
Crying in her sleep
She is just like me
Just like me

There’s a boy down there
Parents kicked him out
He’s a lost disappointment
He is just like me
Just like me

A billion lights
Living inside a radio
Listening to the same songs
Reading the same books
Feeling this song
Just like you do

It’s all been done before
Whose to say my problems
My higher brain of thoughts
Should matter

The wires of people down there
Make me feel so small
