I listen to a pontiff
just as I do anyone else,
though we disagree
but I'm open to how
others think and
feel, especially
if they overlook me:
21 years old,
a child that can
serve as an adult
but depends on his father
and wants to get away
but lost the map to
wherever he was driving to
and now relies on
a compass and memory,
afraid of being dumb and
getting lost because he
second-guessed himself;
it happens every time
I am indecisive and
self-reliant.
On the trips I
find myself lost,
I go
and keep going
because it doesn't
matter where I end up
since it'll be somewhere.
