Contradictions
I want to be grown up and a little girl,
I want to stay home, safe, and travel the world,
I want to look like nothing and be everything.
I want to be alone and I want to see my friends,
I wish this never started and I wish it never ends;
Decide what I want most, real life or pretend.
In theory there is so much drawing me forwards,
Yet always something holding me here
In my safe danger zone.
