Indepence
Late night drives,
With no texts coming in to
Ask if I was dead or alive.
No worried phone calls,
Or dead cell phones.
Just my friends and
The warm orange light bulbs
Flickering every inch we go
Down 75th St.
Wind is blowing through
The locks of my forbidden head.
Thinking dark thoughts of;
Anxious beings.
No cope or hope
But riveting tears of mope.
Moving out of
The hell of a mother,
With a 24/7 empty stomach,
Not being fed with love;
Mom please.
I’m moving out to
Live on my own,
My father's help
Every inch I go.
Independence struggles
With 17 years old.
Only me to uplift,
Who I once may have been.
