Old enough
Yet still wet behind ears
In between teat and wean

Pushing me

Out to sea

Anchor still strapped on feet
Break away, still at bay
Uncertain


Where do I go now?
All I've ever known

Been right here at home
Flailing
And failing the test

Feelings unexpressed
Fell out of the nest
Please catch me


I'm falling


Training wheels
Abandoned now for good
On my own

Great unknown
All alone
And I'm alone to make my bed
