Adulthood by Lawrencezi(m): 4:48pm On Nov 06, 2019 |
Don’t be fooled by me.
Don’t be fooled by the face I wear,
For I wear a mask, a thousand masks,
Masks that I am afraid to take off
And none of them is me. Bottled up inside Are the things I never said, The feelings that I hide, The lines you never read I am leaving now To slay the foe Fight my battles High and low I have grown my wings, I want to fly Seize my victories where they lie I want to see, and touch, and hear, Though there are dangers, thoughts, and fears, I have come down from the land of make believe, and I have found the strength to believe in me. So when I come upon you, open your arms and welcome me, Adulthood for I am headed your way (ABIMBOLA LAWRENCE 2019) 1 Like |
