Stay Right Where You Are Poem by Marilyn White

I know that road trip
Across country looks good
Right about now to you
But tell me what you
Going to do once you get there
How you going to get back here
I don’t even think you are
Ready for what’s up head
I know you are strong and willed
You just might make after all
You’ll be a kid in a candy store
Looking out at the ocean
Where you feel small
Looking down at your feet
Thinking what I have done
The hunger still burns
You’ll never look back
I know you to well
So listen to me this once
Stay right where you are
