Poems
Mar 2013
Home.
I belong in these pages
Of the books on my shelf.
I try to find the answers in the words printed on the paper.
I try to prepare myself.
I belong behind the words that I write,
The stories and characters they transform into.
I search for the answers through art.
I belong at family dinners.
With my mom, my brother and dog.
Together as one.
They are my compass.
Guiding me on.
Now,
I travel across the waters alone.
I try to navigate through the fog.
My parents warnings and lessons sing as lullabies,
That play softly in the whistling wind.
They aren't my map,
They can't guide me anymore.
I have this boat around me.
But the choppy waves never stop.
They batter the hull.
As salty sea crashes over.
I take in gulps of ocean as I try
To navigate my way back to shore.
