I'm trying to find
my way home
and I have ran
out of roads to go onI tried the quickest way
and my feet suffered thorns
and the suffocating fog
led me astrayI tried the longest way
but it took too much
—all the time I had—
and left me with nothing
but sagging bones
in cruel theftI tried the cleverest way
and all I got were enemies
watching my every step
in case I failI tried the dumbest way
only to get criticized
for being too transparent
with what I'm thinkingI tried the brightest way
but all it did was blind me
to the truth that perhaps
I really have no home
to go back to
Perhaps, it has been
ransacked by thieves
and burned to the ground
all those years ago
It's my fear and perhaps
it has come true
—I have no home
to go back toSo maybe that's why
I've tried all the roads
I could go on
and until now
I'm still trying to convince
the road to lead me back
to where I belong,
to tell me that for forever,
I am home
