Outgrown

I seem to have outgrown the cradle
that rocked me to sleep,
The lap-
that gave security and comfort,
The embrace-
that brought contentment

I seem to have outgrown the home
that sheltered my youth
The family
that suffered my stubbornness
The friends
who stayed friends

I seem to have burgeoned
in need, in greed-
in thoughts, not deed!
I seem to have stretched
my dreams beyond realization
and, strayed in vastness-
ambiguous yet distinct….

I seem to have outgrown
my shadow
that walked along…
I am too big now-
and, too alone.
