Boys and girls
You haven’t escaped
The confines of
Our small home town

20 years old and still wearing
The band t-shirts you bought
In high school
Ripped jeans, fading fast

Aporias
Unable to progress past
This world you were brought into

Static
In our small town
Lack of worldly knowledge,
Independent thought

Stuck
So much to explore
Experience
Run and leave
Our small home town

So much more
That you could do
If you only left
You would know
How vast this world
Freedom, allowance
Understanding

Escape and learn
More than just
The life
The people
The simplicity of
Our small home town
