This is my home.
The Trees and the Stars.
Though not the trees I dream of,
or the stars I've learned to love;

This is my home.
The pain and loss.
Though its been years,
That's what the stars remind me of;
But then I close my eyes,
and the beautiful palm trees
awaken my mind.
Those beautiful palm trees,
that remind me to love,
show me i'm safe,
and give me the warmth of a hug;
Those beautiful palm trees,
that i consider home,
that gave me a new family,
a kind i'd never known.

I reminisce in those days,
from the life id chose to love,
before i was torn from that hug,
to the stars i'd grown to love,
from those beautiful palm trees.

If they caught you...
if they caught you,
maybe i would allow myself to feel.
I'd truly be brave instead of faking how i feel.
Maybe when I see a red truck I wouldn't
flinch at the thought of you.
Maybe I'd still know my family,
but you took that away didn't you?

Maybe when people joked about ****
I wouldn't think back to that day.
Or when an older man that looks like you,
asks about my day I wouldn't stare off and say
go away.

Maybe I'd feel normal the way others do.
Or maybe I wouldn't blame myself
for the way I've been treated,
Would you ?
