Unwelcome

If I was well, I wouldn’t be here. 

If there were no walls- I would wander away to be near-

My family who decided my behavior was unnatural. 

So here I am unpacking, my hopes of leaving are supernatural. 

The sounds are shifting again. 

And the lights are morphing in this pen. 

Please be seated, they all command. 

Your disobedience, we will not stand.
