21

I am running away because I turned 21. I am running away from my 21 years. As if time is a maze that I have learned to navigate. I am now open to suggestibility. If you tell me that I misremembered 21 years… There is a truth that I’ve been numb to… I will feel as if my past is being cleansed by a waterfall. I am running toward 22. To investigate a horizon that I can treasure. To enter a soulful future.
