The sun rises,
Finally falling on this forsaken face.
Save my space in time, I'm leaving for a little bit.
To unwind my future,I look behind to see where I fit.
Here I sit, gaze grabs a mirror quick,
I see the eyes now fit my face,
The hair finally falls in place,
Pimples anymore? No, not a trace.
Race back ahead, feet still sore; good,
Proves the moves I make
Might be enough to change this landscape.
I'm growing, but now I'm grown,
Shown the right path, look back for one last pass at home,
Groan, now I'm forced to walk alone.
Round peg, square hole; found a keg but lost my soul,
I know I'm better than a frat boy,
a sweater-matches-cap-boy,
Study, study, study; mom calls, "you better catch a nap, boy."
But now I'm a man, I know wrong, I know right,
I see songs, I see writes, relationships strong into the night,
Well, maybe not quite dating,
for this fast paced freedom leaves me caged in,
Raging sin, look to the sky to remind me to slow down.
Patent-pending, invention venting words upon the whole town.
Is this life? What about a wife? With who, now, can I fight?
Am I alright? Nails-to-mouth: now bite.
Sit here in the five seconds set for myself,
Four more years of schooling: bad for your health.
Enjoy while you can!!
Love Tinka
