home
i don’t have a home
I have a house. My “ home” is somewhere i have long moved out
not because i wanted to, i was forced
i lost my home the moment my parents got divorced
I felt alone i felt stuck, i felt like a stupid rock covered in dirt in muck
and even in my house i feel afraid
i feel like a mouse tied to shame
a home once filled with joy and laughter
turned into a wreck with no happily ever after
A place that doesn’t exist anymore, i never lived there
but the echoes fill my head saying, just ‘ die on this hill ‘ here.
