Itch

Time moves by at home

Days passing one by one

Never bad, always good

But same nonetheless

Scratch

Steps in place to go

Not too far, but far enough

Not running away! I say

Is it believed? No

Scrape

So close I can feel it!

Its just in my grasp!

The freedom I've been craving

I know it won’t pass

Claw

Yet here I sit waiting

Nothing more to do

Just sit with this itchy feeling

And itch until it comes true

Itch
