As a little girl
The world was so large
Within my tiny hands
I spent my childhood
Under the table
Peeking out
From my fort of tablecloths and blankets
The world transformed
Into fantasy worlds and bustling cities
Within my eyes
So young and so innocent
That I wanted to grow up
Now, I am standing
In the middle of this vast world
It grows exponentially with your expectations
Now, I just want to make sure I make it to bed
Before the first alarm hits
Some days I want to crawl back
Under the table
Peek out from my fortress
See those fantasy worlds
Filled with so much possibility
Before reality consumed me
To feel so small, but so fearless
To no longer be limited by the sky
