The Smell of Grass

Sometimes
When I wish I were away
Or when my parents get angry
Or my sister's friends bother me
I go
I just walk
And sit down when I get tired
Usually it's in grass
I like the smell of grass
It's soothing

Something that has always been mine

Wherever I go

Whenever I go

Grass
The sweet, earthy, sour smell
Of grass

I lay down, sometimes
And I look at the forever changing,
never changing sky
I think
I think about life
And about what I want
What I want to be
Which I still haven't decided
I think anything would be nice
As long as I get out of here
