The Glow Up of a Crab by Grace Taylor
I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad…
that only when I had my glow up did people begin to acknowledge me.
I knew what lied ahead
So I chained my feet to the ground
Refusing to travel to that place
But it was inescapable
The world ripped me away
in darkness, we found solace. you recognized my confusion, and i understood your pain. we shared misgivings about our purpose in life, and the way the world should be. your tiny blue bedroom was our haven.
Being a kid was elementary
Inviting everyone to your anniversary
A couple of passes for being fussy
A few free passes for being bratty
Branching off to a new school
Power went to those who were cool
It started senior year

Yelling loud - with fire in my hand,
A rasp to my voice.
I can fly to Charlottesville,
To protest the injustice,
Scream at the streets and light fire in their faces.

Who wondered what life would bring
Well it brought her thrills
And it brought her bills
And best of all it brought her knowing!
