By now
I'm in a different place
The place where I came from
And you're at the place where it all began
I think of you everyday
I can't stop imagining how it'll be
Once we're reunited
I miss you
I used to think that
I can't see myself without you

Well, here we are
Away from each other

I hope you don't ever forget about us
All those crazy things we've done
How strong we were when we were together
How much we made each other smile
It's the best thing I've ever had

And we haven't said goodbye
But see you later
We haven't seen an ending
But a pause

I was on a swing
The chain attaching my seat to the pole
Was maybe a hundred feet
My rock was dull
Then someone came by
And pushed me forward on the back
My swing went so high up
It was better than those dreams
Of flying
I saw over the mountains
It was so nice


Until five-thirty wake up call.

I put myself here
You walked away
Got onto that airplane
All my actions finally caught up to me
The only thing to do now is wait
Home is just a thought
I have to earn you back
Patience is a struggle at this point
So close in my mind yet so far

The drugs remain in my mind and desire
But I have to fake it to make it
It's so hard to be fake when I've always been so real
This place get smaller every day
The noise and chaos more immense
Drama stirs every body's brains
Turns them into robots programmed to be the same
Hate the same person

I've become the odd one out
The one that's best at faking a smile
The hardest to annoy
I have no doubt
Not one ****
About these robots
I have the tools
My belt is on tight
It would take the world to take that away from me
I'm not the fool in this bunch of druggies
I'm the one with my mind right

But then I remember
I remember the definition of it all
Temporary
I keep in mind
I try to not forget
My dear home is there, awaiting my presence
My bedroom
My little sister, missing her pet
I miss my older sister
Her silence gives me company
My mother and that old lady twinkle in her eyes
And in her soul
It gets brighter each day
I miss the **** out of her

My mission here is passing the test
Re-glue my poker face each day
My mistakes have gotten me to a farm
That's what I get
People that also have poker faces
They are all known for taming the animals
My mission is becoming tamed
They won't know
I have to get from 50 miles per hour to just a crawl
That's it
That's all
Then I get to go

Less than three months left.
More than three months in.
To be sure of my day of getting back to reality
I just have to keep a good grasp onto
This smile Ive come fond of
I need to stick to doing it myself
And not waiting for someone
Or more likely
Some substance
Like a pill of some sort
Or the sticky stuff
Or the liquid stuff
The point is
I got this
And my job is to prove that
Stay on track
Put up with these druggies' ******* for a bit longer



And then
I'l be home.
