I Am From a Small Town

I am a small-town girl; where the air is fresh and clean, where the pace is slow and steady and the streets are rarely seen. I am a small-town girl, with a heart full of hope and joy; I want to see the world and find my place to deploy. But now I am in the city and it's a different kind of place; the sounds and smells are foreign and the people have different faces. I miss the simple pleasures, like stargazing at night or walking through the fields and watching birds take flight. I'll embrace this new adventure and see where it may lead; I'll learn to navigate the city and find the things I need. I am a small-town girl, with a heart that's pure and kind; I'll take on the challenges and leave the past behind. I'll make new friends and memories, find my place in the city; I am from a small town, but my spirit is free and gritty.
