Hidden Meanings (✔)

helium

A balloon filled with helium drifting through the air

So tell me, was it fair?

To prick the happy thing with a sharp pin?

The skin keeping it together was quite thin

One simple hole can send it wheeling off in all directions

But now it's too late to make your corrections

The balloon lets out a defeated hiss

As it falls into the dark, bottomless abyss
