Poem
This house is not my home 10x10 room of isolation, I am alone I grip the knob of the door and breathe deep I already want to be alone and retreat Back to the only space where I find relief The door is now open, the air is cold Royal flush in my hands but I'm ready to fold Blurry faces, I try to look away but I can still hear Tones of voices, only a child can cover their ears Keep it together Living in the smallest picture, with a larger one in mind Keeping composure is a battleground But for patience I seek and I find I am a finder I carry with me The passion to succeed I look inside myself and find That I already have what I need It's been another long day I am ready to say goodnight I am 5'8 There is 5 feet of clear space on the floor I have a blanket I lay down once more I will endure another day This will pass These days will become the smaller picture I'll be living large I remember This house is not my home So I Keep it together For now I find comfort In this 10x10 room of isolation Here I am confined I only love to be alone I do not let it force me to forget I am a finder, I will set myself free Out of this room Away from this house Far from the hate That I block out I will find true love And end up where I belong The road is long I find the strength to keep it together I will not be confined.
