I wonder if when I move out
I'll proudly display my flag on the wall
If in my newfound freedom I'll dare.
I wonder if my family will visit me more than once
After what was supposed to be a happy visit
Turned into disappointed and sad stares.
I wonder if my hands will shake
When I hold a pair of scissors in them
and stare at my reflection in the bathroom mirror.
I wonder if I'll cry
When I hold the locks of my hair
Either out of euphoria or panic.
I wonder if I'll ever have the courage.
