Life as I knew it, changed,
Going from palm to pine tree sways,
My ways had become estranged,
Sitting in the backseat, heading away
Away to a place, a new home
I glow and grow when I learn new things
Like navigating new places
I learn to live and mingle making friends
And bonding with new friendly face
Everyone will pay attention to hip new trends
I was in first grade when
Before Christmas break
I lost one of my papers
That the whole class handed in
Except me
I was told I couldn’t leave
Until I found it
I went into panic
I did not know who I was
There were things I enjoyed
But none took up much more than my peripheral-
I was fixated on how and when I would leave.
One day, he walked into my room-
There were a set of steps, Skyscrapers to my eye
An approach of uncertainty
With a painful descent, I’d cry
There were a set of steps, Buildings in my gaze
An attempt of possibility
Oh the taste of greens
They do not look so appetizing
Compared to a cookie I’d much rather have
A cold winter's morning
And there stood I
Facing my future
Eye-to-eye
My rose-colored glasses
Had lenses shattered
My destiny uncertain
My dreams tattered
I was a girl who was afraid
I'd walk in fear and walk in shame
Left, right, left, right, just keeping straight
Don't make contact, or you'll be made
A fool for being human too,
I am stuck in the age that you love to mock,
but it wasn't my fault I couldn't stop the clock.
Two thick braids have unraveled into soft curls,
grinning crooked teeth turned to bright whitened pearls.
The hand I first grabbed within the firstfew moments of my life,The hand I first held into within my firstfew stepsthe hand I held when crossing the street,the hand I held when I was afraid,
When Did I Grow Up
You say, “I can’t believe how much you’ve grown up!” “When did you get so big?”
“Are you going to college?” “What major are you interested in?”
September
By Kyrie Writes
Oh September
Do you remember how the world was colorful?
The sun was blinding
The days were long
