Moving on

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Childhood Bedroom,

I am writing this short letter to you,

The bedroom which I used to occupy,

For 20 years, safe within you, I grew,

Starting with my very first shrieking cry.

A boisterous baby came into your walls,

Eager to play fun games and fight,

You saw her ambitious leaps and her falls,

And her giggles of delight.

I was not that girl anymore,

When teenhood stole my smile,

My emotions drafted into war,

To heal, that took a while.

You must have seen many things as I grew,

And you never spoke a knowing word,

Quietly seeing me through,

Unheard.

Now, here I stand,

Ready to leave my second womb,

My life must expand,

Thank you, Childhood Bedroom

Sincerely, a grateful child.
