Seven Ways To Grow Up: A Poem of Ice and Fire
3 min readFeb 4, 2021
So many vows,
They make you swear and swear.
Obey the king but protect the innocent.
He wondered what he was doing here
And why he had come,
If not to put an end to the murder of children.
Promise me Ned…
Mother I need you too.
I’m trying but I can’t….
I want you to live your life, to kiss a girl
I want to go home
But my father is dying,
My brother is surrounded by foes
I am so tired of being strong…
Those are no sheep bones,
