Dreaming

By: Maggie Toppass

A big city.
Different people,
Modern architecture,
A whole world to explore.

I open my eyes to the gray sky.
I’m lying in the same yard,
Next to the same house,
On the same hill.
The same place I’ve been my whole life.

I want something different,
Something new.
So much more exists far away from here.
I want so much more.
