I’ve chosen a new home for me
Somewhere in a wild wild place
You know, I’ve always imagined my home to be white
But with so many colors inside
And a stairwell to a heavenly upstairs
There, you’ll find the California
And you’ll find me in an imagined placenta
Wondering if it’s time to be reborn
Or time to die inside
This home I’ve chosen
Has so many cells, with so many broken walls
And it has a grand ballroom for my memories to waltz
And dance away the events of that unspoken of day
The day the sun rose with one ray less
The day the clouds watched over me as I cried
As I mourned, and wished that my tears were just washing off my sins
And not bidding farewell to a man with none
See, I’ve chosen a new home, dad..
A home where your picture continues to inspire
A home where your voice can still be heard
A home where you are still there
And I am there too waiting for a scolding
I’ve a chosen a haven away from a reality nightmare
A treehouse with a one way ladder
And a memory box that I will never leave locked
I’ve a chosen a home far from my quiet room
Far from this cold hallway waiting for the ringing of your oxygen machine
Distant from the memory of you grasping a breath to live
I’ve chosen a home where I can miss you without missing you
Where I am not a jailed grieving man
Where I am with you all the time
