55 - Crossing Over

Mr Know It All

The day I turned 

eighteen, 

I stuffed all my 

stuffed toys in a box. 

Left it in the hallway.

Hours later 

I tripped 

over it. 

With a bruised toe 

and a swollen hand 

I couldn’t help but wonder 

if I really was ready for 

becoming an adult. 

Would I forever trip over my childhood?
