um, I have I have on idea what to call this.

tiny hopes
big dreams
a life I'm planning already
around something so unsteady 
who knows where you will take me
but baby 
wherever it is 
I'm ready. 

wha? this just poped out of my head, and I'm so confused, somebody help me.
also why does it sound like a song?
just to make it clear this is fiction,
I aint ready for nothin.

    To escape the overwhelming feelings

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
