Not Ready

All packed up and ready to go

You were ready

I wasn't

"Out to the car" you said

I said "ok" with a twinkle in my eye

You went out, I stayed in

Hid myself so you'd go and leave me behind

For the first time I wanted to be left behind

To live the only life I knew

But you found me

I'm a prisoner in a gray Volvo

Now I'm here, against my will

I hate this, I hate you

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is how I felt when I moved from Illinois in first grade
