Cravings

New Beginnings

By Klo AandersonPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

I am too young for this manifestation of cravings

Not in food, not in sex, not in the recreation fun of the youth

I want to pack a suitcase

Forget the university applications

The parking lot with fold-up chairs and mary jane

Forget the boy nicknamed Koala

Leave a note for a ma with a lion mane telling her of wanted adventures

Let me move, I have time to redeem my mistakes

New friends, new foods, new life

Tear the hooks of life that keep me down

Let the wings grow and the cage around me break

Try new hobbies and live a life worth a Netflix series

This window isn't long

Drop the conscience for a mad dinner story of an adrenaline past

Sit there with riotous wrinkles in a cafe, ranting to any ear who falls victim to me

Let me move, I have time to redeem my mistakes

New friends, new foods, new life

Tear the hooks of life that keep me down

Let the wings grow and the cage around me break

Italy

Greece

Thailand

A little town called Mendoza

Gnocchi expert

Cat caretaker

Hookah businessman

A little girl serving sorbet

Let me move, I have time to redeem my mistakes

New friends, new foods, new life

Tear the hooks of life that keep me down

Let the wings grow and the cage around me break

Yet, I can't

My suitcase lays waste, renting to spiders

Scribbles in google docs of my aspiration for applications

Butt firm in a fold-up chair, a grinder in hand

My lips against a boy nicknamed Koala

My arms around a ma with a lion mane

I can't move, I don't let myself makes mistakes

Same friends, same foods, same life

Rusted are the hooks of life that keep me down

Skeleton wings and a titanium cage

Diminished to cravings of binges,

frantic searches of a condom,

and the depleted bank account for pineapple express and a mickey of tequila
