So indescribably tethered to back home...
When her grandpa died on 9/11/11
I was reminded
Of the life I could have had
But ran away from
Of what she'll have
With those people
Who've always known her name
Were just getting to know mine
I'm blessed beyond any chemical
Atomic level
Grainy picture of the inside of my heartbeat
And you'd see just how happy I feel
Never do I cry here
Well rarely ever
Periods might make me
From time to time
But time isn't something you can hold in your hand
Or even in a moment
Raindrops blinding my determinedly opened eyes
When I stayed my running steps
For the hundredth time
As the flag surprised me,
Waved above me
I was reminded
Of the life I could have had
Was raised away from
