Things I Outgrew

Things I Outgrew

I outgrew sugary treats for breakfast

when I was 18 I thought that I outgrew my britches

But I still make Mamaw's waffles when I'm missing home.

I outgrew fairytales and poems that rhyme

I outgrew feeling the slowness of time

and I outgrew believe you're better off never alone.

I outgrew thinking twenty dollars was cheap

and outgrew not caring about dishes in the sink

and I outgrew pushing away help getting up when I fall.

I outgrew organized religion - don't know what it's for

and trusting the government - who takes more and more

cause I out grew the rose colored glasses that covered it all.
