A hopeless romantic
overly dramatic
reaching for the sun
while holding the roots of a tree
afraid to run
scared to leap
toe in the water
with the neighbor's daughter
instead of the girl down the street
closing all my doors
from the inside
getting off the roller coaster
though I'm tall enough to ride
because it's safety
that I'm searching for
while trying to make my dreams come true
it's preventing a mess
while my art is coming through
You can't have one
and the other
It's like trying to breathe
while you smother
