Another Coming-of-Age Story They pushed your little red bike,Another Coming-of-Age Story by ~myaen
momentum gained - you grew -
the little trumpet player who knew
by heart the concert score;
now just say "okay," "alright,"
because the playgrounds are gone
so you don't know where to go,
'cus you're not a kid anymore.
You still remember when
brokenhearted you
screwed off the training wheels,
rode, fell, but rode, knees sore,
and today sucks too
since you stopped wanting him or them,
stopped soldiering on, somehow
had what you had and wanted "more."
