Poem
Take me home, take me home to the place I desire the most. Not my bed with a dozen blankets to bake me in like a a pie of puff pastry sprinkled in easy dreams. But to my home of comfort and love. My friends couch after a night of drinking and partying with my peers who know me too well. To the difficulty of shutting my eyes with dizziness when another humorously bad joke can be dragged out of my friends mouth any minute. To the feeling of all of them laying by me like clothes on the washing line of a humid and tiring day. Our teddies joining us all and becoming the next generation of acquaintances through stories and much too mature delusions. Take me home, take me home to the games where sticky dice near the bottles are abandoned due to impromptu singing. Grooving bodies dance and slide side by side with our bikinis from earlier still on, revealed by thin and cheap mesh shirts and frustrating removed shorts and skirts because of lack of freeness. Everybody's tidy scars and scattered moles and root-like stretch marks on show to anger the polite social norms. To show each other how comfortable we feel and to show the outside world peering though the open windows at night that we are just and only teens in love with youthful freedom. Take me home, take me home to our uneducated political debates and illustrated family drama. To our nights where we need a break from speaking second languages and curt words. To the hours ignored where we can spend with each other without getting bored and to soak in the platonic connections that tie us together like a historical constellational map. To the place where we can all forget the piling school work and pressuring tears that drip like a punctured garden hose. Take me home, take me to the place where I can have company and freedom from everything and anything. To the place of relentless adoration and unspeakable filthy secrets. Take me to my best home, I will be waiting for everyone else there when they too find the beastly world edging to close to reality. I know they would wait for me too. We will wait for our unfiltered love at home.
