"I'm home."
Ironic how I often say these words
Like I have fully grasped its meaning
Is it nothing more than these structure,
Walls, windows, and ceiling?
I have always sought shelter
Built on stability and undividedness
Where love resides
Echoes of chimes and laughter
I have always wandered
Searching for warmth in strangers
Like a moth to a flame
A lost child inside a woman's frame
I have always bargained
Despite the stakes too high
With my torn edges
I'm barely worth a dime.
