Homesick

Home sick.
that tends to be a common phrase,
one that I don't understand well,
I don't have siblings,
no attachment,
never in one place,
never with one person,
never connected.
I used to think it was a super power.
maybe I should say "alone-sick?"
because I'm never one to be around others,
all the time,
in fact my brain is my safe spot, 
I like laying alone in a different space,
Because if I'm alone in any space,
im home.
my home has been built from years of hurt,
being torn from what I wanted, 
always stepping over my toes to just,
be.
I am alone, and I am home, I shift, but I am never homesick,
I would have to have a home,
but instead I have myself.

  • Swings

    I remember being younger when the playground was in bloom,

    The slide was overcrowded and I could never get a ride, 

  • An Envy Detour

    May this envy be contagious?

    These naughts of mine that always rise come as dreams in cages?

    I might recon that is so,

    Yesterday as I sat down it started then to snow.

  • Decisions

    Four corners set each way, 
    And I still sit in the box. 
    The left could sin me, 
    Right could win me, 
    Front or back could block. 
    I could become a famous tool, 
    Or infamously triumph,
