Free Write, Week 2

Extra

The journey of growth, intriguing, yet
scary all the time
There were parties, books and class.
Still, nothing prepares for shock.

Fuss surrounds as cells provide extra
Families gather and pray.
Yet, there is nothing compared
to your face.

What will life bring?
All this fuss over extra.
To be safe and fulfilling,
but be as close to regular.

Mom and Dad spend hours gazing.
They will always be willing and ready.
Just because you have 27, instead of 26
will make you that much more special.
