I packed up my suitcase and along with it;
My dreams, my hopes, my life.
No matter how fast I drove my van,
Whispers always followed; hushed voices
passing judgments fabricated as opinions.

I only seek ambition- a purpose, a dream;
not a pair of hearts, or arms, to feel frission.
So why is it that I'm deemed immodest?
I only ran away from a house, to find a home.
