Hello, World

Hello, World I dream to someday Escape, evade, emerge from this rock I call 'Home' To leave those who are narrow-minded, intolerant, and ignorant The beach was never my backyard Lying in a hammock, shaded by palm trees was never an anamnesis Nor do I recall swimming with dolphins in the crystal blue brine When I come of age , I will getaway pack my bags in a heartbeat And before you shed a tear, remember that I was never a part of this island
