growing up

It quickly recedes before my eyes

Uncertainty and fear whisper

A grace of good and evil

That barges through doors

And breaks through windows

Rattles windows 

And breaks special things

Kills short minutes into long hours

Tiresome and stressful

A constant itch of the skin

Sting of the eye

Twitch in my brow

The future

That ever so slowly begins to unfold

That scares the youngest

That never seems good even when you get there

But when its past you miss it

The future

So wild and unknown

Like space and the sea

Only parts of it do we see

Elegantly waiting this future of mine

And the first day of school

I have to decide

Which path will I decide.
