'Hi.' Hi?! A ****** HI IS WHAT YOU GIVE ME? The gains, the drops, the climb; struggle. How can this calamity be my reality? Pour me into a cup, Drink me like liquor Let the world smell me on your breath Let them feel my mark Breathe me and and swallow me whole Lost inside your soul.. But NO You aren't good for me, not one bit This itch, it's just an itch Fight it, will it to shrink and wither Let it timber Drown no longer with your white whale Abandon ship; don't---------fail. s.q.

You know you’re grown When your monsters change They don’t lurk in closets And hide underneath beds Now they stand in the hallways Bunched up, whispering Now, they point and gossip Spreading rumors You’re not afraid to walk Upstairs at your grandma’s anymore You’re not afraid to turn off the lights Instead, you’re afraid of the rush to get to the classroom You’re afraid to go to lunch You’re afraid to talk to them So, how you know When you’re grown Is when your monsters change
