Red Things

Red Things
I learned to tie the laces Right, even when they cut into my Skin, they told me it was how you grow

I walked where they pointed, quiet and careful, pretending to understood the path

Sometimes I looked back, at the Girl I used to be, standing somewhere soft and untouched

But I kept moving forward, like i was supossed to, like stopping was never an Option

So I took them off in silence, left them where no one would notice,

…

and ran before they could make me stay.
