Not Homegrown
Small town
Same plains everyday
Simple, quiet
Did what I was told
No questions
Only had tunnel vision comprehension
Didn’t know where we were going, but eventually I’d be home
Until one day, I ended up in Rome.
Like a tornado, I couldn’t control where I was flown
To a foreign world I was blown
Take shelter they say
But isn’t B.K; you can’t have it your way
Wasn’t something I could ignore
I had more than a feeling I wasn’t in Kansas anymore
Bustling city
Unfamiliar tongues all around me
Hesitant, but intrigued
I wanted to know more
A vast world I hadn’t been shown
A passion sprouting
It wasn’t homegrown
Picked up the habit of outing
After every milestone
