It's funny that I'm free

Summer is here and I'm a puddle,
forced to engulf the road run-off pollutants
from other people's journeys.

I try to be humble,
and think of a judgemental aunts
speech and thoughts on which pollutant is the least bitter.

I pick up the guitar,
join an art class
and write more poems.

Finally finished school and I've never felt so full and empty all at once. This was a poem that I couldn't finish after the first stanza because the imagery of a polluted road and a puddle of fresh rainwater didn't feel right to continue.
