I read a story about a clown
who ran away from the circus.
I thought it was odd;
people usually run away to join the circus, not try to escape it.
The clown packed herself into a suitcase and threw herself out to sea, cursing her painted face and huge shoes.

I read a story about a boy who floats;
he couldn't stay grounded.
He was abandoned, but when he had the chance to be cured and reunited with the family that threw him out, he decided to float away and stay the same.

I am trying to learn something from these stories.
In which a clown runs away from what society wants her to be and a boy floats above what people think of him.

I wrote a poem about it all, because I wasn't sure what else to do.
