Making this place a home Is no easy feat When I can’t even make A hot meal I could eat And in no earthly form So desire to learn How from not but a twig And a stone Make it burn Just expecting to introspectively Endure This new prison cell in darkness clutches Emmured In insanity shrill shrieking silent serenity Nothing to make me believe I deserve to be Anywhere else but this lush green oasis Draining the life from this shell it encases Making the most of the least of my problems And unto the peoples’ Give myself to solve them
