Somewhere along the way I have lost my home.
I'm not sure where I'll find it, since
it's been so long
And I've forgotten what to look for.
It's probably somewhere with a real bed,
in a real bedroom,
that I can officially call MINE.
And it'll hold something other than hard liquor in the fridge.
And my dirty clothes won't have to wait a month to be washed.
And maybe home looks like a shower that always a available.
And is held up by walls with pictures of my own friends on them.
Maybe a shaggy dog too,
who loves me despite living with all my flaws.
Because I miss not having to fear whatever it is that I'm doing.
If I want to watch a movie it won't offend someone
trying to sleep.
If I was to lounge on the couch with my feet off the ground,
it won't be against the rules.
And if I want to strip my clothes off after work,
Or leave a dirty plate on the floor for more than a day,
I wont be glared at or though less of.
I don't know where home is,
but I really, really miss it.

Great poetry with emotion. I know the feeling of feeling lonely. I actually wrote a poem about it. I'm not sure if I posted it. I hope you find a home and someone. Hugs
