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.
