I hated this town
And I ran from it as soon as I could
Although I still don’t fully understand
Life has brought me back
But I’ve continued to have this part in me
Wanting to take flight
To anywhere but here
Lately though I’ve started seeing more beauty
More kindness more love
Rewriting my experience
Whispering for me to stay
Slowly I am realizing
that what felt like chains
Keeping me trapped
Were actually roots
That held me steady
Roots spreading
Bringing sweet fruit
Stability, Comfort
Support Love
All of the things I needed to grow
