Sunrise

2.5 decades of life
Stuck to my oath
Yeah I swore
I’d never grow

Friends found peace
With maturation 
As I retreat 
Into the vegetation 
Hope to god they follow 
but they never do
 
Guess I’m just a kid 
Clinging to a rope swing
Praying the fibres fraying 
won’t bother me
The brook below looks pretty fast 
But I bet you I’m faster 
Caught up in the past
Paralysed by the future 
 They say “she’s a lost cause that one”
With starring eyes and stale tongues 

I scratch out rambling letters
to the old souls gone
Ask them “Is it kinda frightening  to feel so far from home?”

Got my knees hooked round 
A wood rot branch  
She Creaks beneath my weight 
But no way
I’m not coming down
    
Cos I’m just a kid 
Hiding in my hand-built twig den 
Praying that the storm 
Doesn’t bring down the rope swing 
The rains falling hard
Bet you I could fall harder 
Caught up in the past
Paralysed by the future 
No I’m not coming in  (you can’t make me)
The rain can reclaim my skin  (go on I dare you)
