Home
is where the heart is,
is where I fall apart, is
a place
that suffocates,
clips my wings
with frustration and love,
is where I cannot be
the me
I am
at this point in life,
have got to be nice
to a role that is token.
The rules never spoken
but we all know
I never got permission
to grow.
I am still complying
by imperfectly lying
and allowing the ghost in me
to embrace lethargy
for the sake of the shell
where my poor parents dwell.
