needs A home

October 30, 2015

If you asked for the first word

that came into someone’s mind

when they look into mine

and they’re searching for some time

they would never find a sign,

for everything starts to blur.

It’s not my fault, I’m just shy and awkward.

 

But when I’m bold,

I’d try to analyze them like I know I could

I’d learn how to turn

their doubts to gold;

they’d never fall or fold.

I’d inspire like a snowfall, but I’m never cold.

 

I still recall how it would feel

to be excluded, left out of the deal.

Friends forget you when you’re down.

I aim to please and to appeal,

help one forget their Achilles’ Heel.

I only breathe so that I’m around

 

when a lonely soul needs a home,

I’d never make them feel alone.

When a tired soul needs a home,

I’d never make them feel alone.

 

Whenever a wanderer needs to stop

I easily become the rock

even if I’m falling down

and I feel my throat starting to lock.

I’m defensive for my family ,

and if you think that I’m lonely, then look at me.

I’ve got my friends. Friends are family; that’s all i need.

And I still know that we all have room to grow.

But I am the one who shows care and I’ll be

the one to fly to you and pick you up off your feet. For

 

when a lonely soul needs a home,

I’d never make them feel alone.

When a lonely soul needs a home,

I’d never make them feel alone.
