me
-waiting
to grow up,
embrace freedom
but
I
do not
know travails
awaiting me
-life
facts
want to
make themselves
known, accepted
-Truth
slow,
losing
battles to
find new meaning
knows
I
will reach
pinnacles
after reading
maps
paths
show up
only when
I acknowledge
Truth
Creative Experiments and More 
Excellent structure of sentiments and certainly truth about living. Great job, Reena!
