somnambulist
So small then
So new
And I knew
More wonders.
Wisdom.
WHEN
I was younger then,
Older than I am now,
Now that they've untaught me
Those truths.
WE
Pain,
The tonic
To unlearn lies,
Theirs and mine.
DARE
I have outgrown
This place
And long
For a smaller one.
One that feels
Like home.
WAKE
Soon I will be
As ancient as the day
I was born.
