December 1: "All Grown Up" by Chloe Hemsoth


All Grown Up


I don’t want to sleep

Because I think I know

(Subconsciously)

That when I wake up

I will be older.

I don’t want to grow up,

I want to go home,

To the brick house,

And the rotting porch,

(We refinished it our last summer there),

Back to when I would climb the cherry tree

In the front yard, scraping my knees,

Not a care in the world other than

What would be for dinner.

I miss the girl I was,

But I think she would be proud of

Who I turned out to be.

-Chloe Hemsoth, sophomore
