Burnt Rubber

Burnt Rubber by Lily Cohen

Anger is like burnt rubber

Like a flat tire in the middle of nowhere

And like dream being crushed by the fist of a giant

You're devastated and frustrated

But on good days 

It tastes like sugar and candy

And you don't have a care in the world

But the second your day takes a wrong turn,

You taste that familiar burnt rubber taste

that you have dreaded

but can't avoid

But one day I will taste that 

Sugar and candy taste again

And my prayers will be answered
