Elasticity

by Krystal Smith

I was a rubber band

Plain, as rubbber bands go

I had no color

According to other rubber bands

And being plain

I accepted it

I was a rubber band

With many different uses

I was strong

For my life was centered

On one part of life

Be all the rubber band I can be!

I was a rubber band

Who encountered twists

And ripples

While holding others together

Others were important

Even if they weren't concerned about me

I was a rubber band

Who had been stretched

To my limit

And finally broke

In tiredness, in dreary tones,

And in helplessness- I was alone.

I was a rubber band

Who discovered that I was still ofsome use

With another broken band

The greatest rubber band ever

Who was broken for others like me

But survived.
