I feel homesick for the home I never really had.
I feel homesick for the home I never really had.
When I was a kid, I left so-called home with naiveness,
When I was adulting, I was forced to leave the home,
By the time I matured, the home had left me long ago.
Since then, I have been sick of the home I have always lived in.
They say when there is a storm, you rush towards your home.
They say you get a hug that makes you feel warm.
But I stood there and welcomed the storm with my arms wide open
and hugged till it felt my warmth.
I felt like a soldier who fought battles for his homeland,
and when wounded, every memory of home faded forever.
I searched my home, every walkable corner, hopeful but exhausted but never gave up.
And I am still searching, visiting every new place and asking for the address,
which itself was the wrong one.
Some places discarded me, and many provided shelter,
I found shelter when I walked into the woods and danced in the rain.
When I climbed a mountain and when someone accompanied me, as I cried in pain.
I found refuge when a random person mentioned me in their stories,
And festivals invited me to stay as I celebrated someone's glory.
Sometimes in a castle, many times under a tree.
Staying stray felt no tough. In fact, it was free.
But my thirst for affinity carried the quest to infinity.
Hopeless with a new hope, I stopped searching and started building to build a home.
Just laid a plan soon; someday,
I will make a home or, instead, become a home.
A home with no doors to push you out or keep you locked.
A home that never goes far or gives you a scar.
I will be your home; stay in Me, stay with me.
-Wishyou
A safe place.
