I took my mind
(wide as the world)
to school
and they thought me
how to think
small.
My heart
(they couldn’t tame at all) .
I thought…just wait
just wait ‘till I’m not small
and I’ll escape this place
but by then
I had turned into one of them
...the grown ups...
and had to learn
how to be
myself
all over
again.
