Growing Up

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
