Gettin' Where from Gettin' Where by Bea Troxel

i may seem young perhaps naive
what with all my wandering
When all the old women
with gray in their hair
tell me mistakes are the only fare
to getting where you really wanna go

I cant say that I often see the world
with much clarity
unless i’m looking at the grass
the window panes the alley cats
i’m getting where i really want to go

some days i find it hard to be seen
thank god for my friends who look at me

please allow some space
for me and my idiosyncrasies
how i can watch a sixth-grade girl
don her cat ears, spin and twirl
while she’s getting where she wants to go

i may not tell you to your face
but man i’m trying to take up space
and i used to never say if i
would rather sleep or read or cry
but now i choose what i want
i’m here to see you
here to need you
here to see you
i’m getting where i want to go
