Sitting
At a stop sign on the corner
Graduation cap on the ground
Stuck
In the middle of the madness
Of growing up and moving on
Sick
Of being sober making decisions
From the left brain
Smiling
At the car pulling up to the stop sign
Waving you into the blaring music
Slide
Out from behind expectations
Into the hot glow of sun rays
Sneak
Off into the future of your choosing
Having fun along the way or
Stay
And be all you can for someone else’s self esteem
Graduating into Middle American miseries
So
Stop sign girl, smile and roam
Or whine and stay?
