Things I'Ve Learned Through The Fire Poem by tony haynes

Somebody told me
A lie
Never mind who it was
Earth is round and it does…

…what it is supposed to do as such, it turns

Proving truth can mold me till I
Realign who I am
Earthly bound & un-damned
Scorched a little so I know too how much it burns
Earth is grounding me because
Naturally this earthling has flaws
Constraints and concerns that have gnawed on my
Essence from birth…

…But through the fire I’ve learned these critical laws
Are keeping me down to earth
