The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

If I am meant to inspire,
Don’t let it be in vain.

If a bird was meant to fly,
And I was the path to leave the nest,
Don’t let them crash.

So many times,
I’ve been string,
Meant to be used as lasso.
And I break at the seams.

Let me finally be rope. 

Don’t let me be the reason 
Dreams buy one-way tickets to nowhere. 

Let me be a reason 
The concrete grew a flower,
Rebellious, 
and bloomed.
