A Nowhere Place

Too far did I roam

This life was a mistake, a blight

I just want to go home

*

The nasty heat shimmers like chrome

The air here never smelled right

Too far did I roam

*

I would have left had I known

The snickers of others, the words that bite

I just want to go home

*

I once lived in forests and fertile loam

Blinking stars that sing at night

Too far did I roam

*

A ticket bought, savings blown

I pack my suitcase tight

I can finally go home

*

Mind of rage and mouth of foam

It escalated again, our fight

Once again, I long to roam

I just want to go home
