It was the last time

I closed my eyes

The future's gray

I enjoyed the light

I ran from home

Too scared to fall

It wasn't mine

After all

I took the step

I took a leap

Finally made

A choice for me

Dancing queens

Applause uproar

Carve a stage

Forevermore

Flowercrowns

Burned to dust

New adventures

Wanderlust

Family breaks

Watch and learn

Find a voice

And love to yearn

Owls sweep

Diamonds away

You treasure coal

For hope one day

It tastes like sunlight

Looks like dawn

Smells like barbeque

On a fresh-cut lawn

Breathe it in

Gymnasium air

Rotting wood

And nappy hair

Pouring storms

Last time home

Clicking keys

Metronome

Wet and dripping

Pool party

Popsicle licking

On cold concrete

Fireworks popping

Gaze at the stars

Phone is buzzing

It's three pink hearts

Suddenly you realize

This isn't the end

And new adventures

Will only begin

If you step out 

Your comfort zone

You don't have to

Be alone

It all felt golden

That summer flew

My cheeks were crimson

The sky bright blue

It was the start

Of a world brand new

I was never ready

If only I knew

Two years later

Here I stand

The queen and captain

Of a whole new land

That was the golden summer

I think I know this for sure

On the brink of this season

I think I'm waiting for more
