19 years of flourishing past the gaurds of hate.

18 years of wondering where the ocean floor lies.

17 years of holding my head up.

16 years of fighting my sterotypes.

15 years of being the adult.

14 years of running away from the bullies.

13 years years of wanting to know the truth.

12 years of school feeling dumb.

11 years of wishing things were different

10 years of playing outside.

9 years of remebering the lyrics.

8 years of forgetting how to be real.

7 years of hiding the truth.

6 years of looking in the mirror.

5 years of being strong. 

4 years of laughing and crying.

3 years of painting the town.

2 years of moving away.

1 year of missing you.
