Poem: Vignette from The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.

Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor
Bouncing upon the breeze, fighting to be free.
Until then I am a red balloon, bright against the sky
The color of happy, but I don't know why
Until then I am a red balloon, an easy target to be seen
A marker, a symbol, the place to be
Until then I am a red balloon, pretending to get away
But actually content and wishing I could stay
Because then, I will be a red balloon, homeless
With nowhere to go but up, until I reach the sun.
