grass beneath my feet
sun burning my skin
but I don’t care about hurting my chin
I’m just running while I’m still five feet

It’s still fun to play hide and seek
I’m not hiding yet just for the sake of it
and I’m not worried I will lose my grin
my mouth was never close to a fist

and I’ll never get to shout so loud
or get that safe and sound
like in the backward of my aunts house.

My bones have already cracked now
I don’t frolic, I don’t sprout,
don’t visit
The backward of my aunts house.
