Late Bloomer 🥀 (my alternative outcast poem reading)

my poem:
I bloom as fast as the flowers
Late in June
I take a while
Do you know I was a kid once?
Same
Body
I still wear the same sweater, from back when I was 14
Back when I had nobody to please
Just being me or the “me” my parents let me be
I can’t wait my turn
Not no more
Patience is a lie
When you’re growing inside, all the time
Cross the road when you want
The time is now
Fuck the clock
German Shepard on a chain
Remind me of what my days were
Back when scribbling with chalk on the sidewalk, was all I really wanted
Vapes on the floor
Ditching class and failing p.e
Abandoned car seat
You never really grow up of being a baby
I don’t shine like the sun
Glimmer like the moon
Don’t look at me, not on purpose
Only because you can’t look away
Pay attention to me, what do you do want from me?
I’m only giving myself out for free
For the feelings daddy couldn’t give me
The older, the better
The younger, the meaner
More insecure
I’m too 23 to feel free
Give me 30, 40, 50
Love my generation but not enough to kiss them. Date em
Too mentally crazy
And I’m just like them
You can find me hiding in The Alleys
Where’s it’s quiet
And the strays skip happily
Bet you can’t look away, once you do
It’s kiss me or harm me
No in-between
Want me or trap me
Hold my soul, likes it’s yours to own
Can’t catch a butterfly
Can’t force the wind
I’ll be your girl
If you promise me one wish
Freedom
I’m looking for a daddy
Not a dad
There’s a difference
One you only call after midnight
One never calls you back
