Growing Pains
She bursts out of class
Trying to get away
To go home and cry
She has no friends
Just a house and parents
Who are nice
Too nice
There are no sharp things
In her world
Nothing harmful
In her world
The scales fall from her eyes
And she realizes where she
Really is
She needs to get out
She tries to find a way out
Of her Worst Nightmare
She succeeds, but it is bitter indeed
For in gaining her freedom
She loses the safety of the
Illusion
