Take Me Home
Location
What’s this poem about?
Oh just take me home
It’s just another shout
Out
Into the world
I’m just trying to be heard
Self-expression
Is the only way
We as humans
Have learned
To save our souls
And to remain ourselves
Can you help me find my way home?
I set sail
Off to a place
Of my only creation
And it’s oh so spacious
Empty like me
And I’m sorry
If I’m trying too hard
I didn’t mean to bombard
You
With my emotions
I seem to always cause a commotion
Can you help me find my way home?
I’ve been alone
For what feels like forever
Walking this road
On my own
It’s all I’ve ever known
Can you help me find my way home?
I think it’s near
I think I can hear—
The TV’s on!
There’s mother talking loudly
Love is pouring out of her
There’s father smiling
A twinkle can found in his eyes
There’s brother laughing
A sound so relaxing
The sinks has been left running
Clothes tumbling around
In the dryer
The porch lights
Remind me
Of the light
At the end of a tunnel
A constant reminder of hope
I shut my eyes
I am home
