I Am

Born dependent.
Wide-eyed and hungry.
Looking and learning.
So much colour.
Bigger bed.
Sounds ringing.
Talking and smiling.
Homes and pets.
Kitchen smells.
School bells.
Bigger clothes.
Friends rotate.
Library books.
Bigger shoes.
New building.
Glasses on.
Late nights.
Certificate.
Bigger world.
Crowded transport.
Watch the clock.
Need more sleep.
Bigger pressures.
Reunion time.
See old friends.
Comparing lives.
Bigger roles.
Kids and Grandkids.
Born dependent.
Wide-eyed and hungry.
Looking and learning...

In I am, The Dependent somehow sadly does not challenge her Dependence. Wonderful honest job by Sarah Hassarati.

thanks for your participation in my bio contest, Sarah. The line length was 25 or less. That is the only reason you did not get a numbered placement. very creative writing!
