nothing has changed
in the high roads
i still have
nowhere to go

i have to afford
the greater trips
unless i feel
like playing fit

and walking
several hours
to arrive somewhere
with metal flowers

titan arums
towering over me
something so simple
so hard to achieve

why do i always
have to have money
why can't i go
without being VIP

what has changed
in the bitch's city
i ask because
i can't see clearly

where are my friends
where is the art
where are the conversations
with no end but a start

please don't call me adult
i am merely a tween
i can't do everything
when i'm just eighteen

but i am fine
in comfort
looking at the dried flowers
on the cupboard

the memories
that remain so pure
the many cheap flowers
in corner stores

the strangest of concepts
written on familiar walls
the fossils of pictures
from before they'd fall

my every quote
my tiny stories
this place is my home
and it was waiting for me
