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
