274 eyes, 137 people that belonged to them
my legs shook
my body quivered
my throat ached
my eyes wateredSo this is what it's like to travel by yourself for the first time.
16 years and counting
my independence had grewfrom holding the safe hands of my mother
and the rush of anxiety that followed when I let go
It was time to grow up and do things on my ownso now I try harder
to free myself from the wretched hands that belong to anxiety
and into the welcoming hands of independenceI'm grown up now
which is sad to say
I would really like to keep holding my mother's hand
where the warmth will stay
