Not A Child
By Jet
All my bags are packed Standing by the open door. Today's the day I take the plunge... I'm not a child anymore. So grand to be all alone. Such freedom never felt before. I've waited all my life for this... I'm not a child anymore! All too soon the work gets tough Exams and tests glaore. I tell myself to make it through... I'm not a child anymore. The roof leaks.. A steady drip I can't ignore. But the landlord is away today... And I'm not a child anymore. Sometimes I curl into a ball, And wish for nothing more Than to travel back in time... Until things were like before. Through happiness and joy Through all the hurt and pain. I can make my own decisions... But I'll never be a kid again. I've realized, as my visits home Come only when time will allow. That my parents knew it all along... Their little girl is all grown up now.I really shouldn't be allow so much time to think...This is what happens when I realise that "home" is just a place I visit when I have time... Arrghhh...stupid homesickness...I don't have time for you! Written January 27th, 2002 © on Jan 27 2002 03:17 PM PST 18 • 0 • 10
