You Can Never Go Home

You can never go home You’ve heard the phrase But take my advice It might number your days. Take a lesson from me For I’ve learned it well My so-called aunt Is a demon from hell. To say that she is family Is a stretch I won’t make She’ll beg you to stay, Then swear that you take. The stuff that she hides During a paranoid rage She’s been a "" all her life It’s not due to her age My mom couldn’t stand her Which I thought was odd Until just this year When my hometown I trod I stayed at her house Mind you, at her request For no one would help her As a result, she was stressed So, help her, we did As much as we could Thinking that we were Doing some good When all of the sudden Long after we left She called the police with Complaints, threats, & theft I, in a panic, Called someone I knew Claiming my innocence Asking what should I do They advised me to call Someone in charge So APS services In her house they did charge They found what was missing And have since cleared my name But, as a result, I’m just not the same Now a cynical So much like my mom I have no desire To claim where I’m from So hear me now And hear me well Family like that Can rot in hell!
