Strawberry stains and summertime

Nothing but the peppermint sky

And cotton candy clouds

With the pounding of saltwater waves

My heart pounding in my ears

As my feet pound down the pavement

A sweet memory not yet burdened

Weighed down by the turning globe

The expanding of the world slowed

My body grew to take it all in

The sweetest sting of nostalgia

And an unknown taste upon my lips

Ideas came and went

Time flowed on and eddied as it broke

The time when the world was big

And I was small

Now sticky sweet memories

In a place I can’t quite recall

With friends whose faces blur into the past

Untried and wobbly

In this new grown up world

As new hands touch my skin

His unsteady breath fills my lungs

And my heart beats with hope undaunted

Everything is new here

Only then crushed

Smashed beneath his oppressive love

Bruised by his puckered lips

Too scared to break free

A proffered escape eagerly taken

Places not yet ventured became home

While the future once more burns brighter

And hotter than I dare try to grasp, yet

Its white halo seared into my eyes

Outside of the peaceful bubble

There is a bustling world I’ve yet to know

Yet to touch and leave my mark

I’m now awake

With eyes wide open

Terrified and troubled

Haunted by scars I can’t escape

Twisted around a past that impedes me

Waiting for my time to shine

To burn with passion

Slough off the layers of past shame

And burst into Life
