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.
