Coming of Age
I dreamt about getting out
14, knobby knees, the urge
To just give in and
Run run run
(Don’t look back)
To the edge of the world.
I was going to leave
this city in the dust.
Find a place safe
For us and our ideals
And never look back
To the edge of the world.
A decade passed
Goals and outlooks
And best laid plans change.
Growing up is pain.
I’m still here.
Is it considered being trapped when you hand-picked your own cage?
never thought I’d dwell in this self-labeled hell but I’m not that girl anymore
