You peel a layer of skin off my back

every time you call my worst nightmare an 'adventure'

I have been stripped away from my childhood home,

all I've ever come to know

yet the first word that comes to your mind is 'adventure.'

An adventure is something lover of change chase

those who crave disorder 

and need to fill their lives with a false sense of purpose-

such empty, meaningless purpose.

You who share their wiseness

and 'grand adventures' must surely know

it was under your hand that you left-

it was your own choice to leave

but an adolescent still has no choice this far along, you know.
