Flicker

Will we ever escape this town?

This town where the people are like the grass:

artificial and dull.

This town where everything is shiny and polished.

This town where every teenage girl

dresses the same

and acts the same

and thinks the same.

This town where originality is rare

and creativity is snuffed out.

This town where everyone is headed down the same path that keeps them from ever really leaving.

Will we ever escape this town?

We don’t belong here.

We don’t fit in.

We have big city dreams

that don’t have a place amongst the others.

We are a flicker of something new

in a fire of never changing cycles.

Will we ever escape this town?

I think we will.

Together.

Or not at all.
