when I was young
I was transparent
dodging what I could
submitting to the undodgeable
I predicted the family future
at the age of 5
but was afraid to grasp
my own salvation
aging finds me grasping
and regretting
regretting and grasping
learning who inhabits this body
I'm still an amateur
but don't underestimate
my ability to offend
or be offended
And
wondering when
I'll be fully grown
