Growing Up, by suzieQ
|
As I look out at my home town
So small, quiet and serene
I can feel my face form a frown
A feeling begins to settle and preen
I no longer fit, its not the same
This town, once a perfect fit
Where life was a safe, secluded game
Sets a quiver on my lip
I don't belong here anymore
I have outgrown a thing or two
And this hits me at my core
For once I have a clue
This will always be a home
This will always be a haven
But now I face the world alone
My heart is heavy laden
This is the place where I have loved and lost
My hometown that holds many memories
But now I must face the unpaid cost
Of adulthood's disguised felonies
