Townie

I don't want to be a townie
Drowning in a small pond of my regret
I don't want to be too rooted in to get away
Cause all I've got is life until my death

I don't want to be a townie
Preoccupied with what might/might not have been
I don't want to feel I only ever got to know
The people that I've known since I was 10

Consequently, if I alienate myself from the herd
That I'm abandoning for pastures that don't
Taste the same as white bread pasta

I don't want to be a townie
Talkin shit bout shit I don't understand
I don't want the only content in my life to be
The memes posted online by townie friends

Consequently, if I look in places other than my comfort zone
Is there a possibility that I'll ferment not just grow mold?

If time expires the choice to change
Will change just choose another way?
So I will try my best to be
More than a birthplace or a street name

I don't want to be a townie
