Analysis of The Metaphor
Alisha Galloway 2009 (CA)
How great to be a metaphor,
to sleep on a bed of clouds,
And use drapes of silver lining as shades to the sad outside world.
To be a riddle, a puzzle,
something not quite figured out,
well that's what I was until I lost imagination and became reality,
well one day someone will get me back right?
