Scraped Knees
I trip over the intricate details
Falling over, under, through
Coasting and rushing
Tasting and splitting
Your words
While you stagger on the surface
Unaware and oblivious
I hang on the memories of your past
Reliving your kiddy sensations
Crushed and enthralled
Hyper and confused
By growing
While you envision me the same
2D and stagnant
And my heart stings
Much like scraped knees
Because you can’t understand me
