"Nǐ fēn dào zhèyàng zuò me? Yěshì nǐ de jiā ma." It's also your home, I am told. Really? Tell me more, o mind reader. What other feelings I should feel Please police my thoughts , while you're at it.
Nay, no, nein, bukan. None of these places are my home There are merely residences Which owners let me have a roof above me The locations where my flesh prison seek shelter.
Yes, I confess, sometimes I do slipped up And referred to them as "my home" But what you do not see or hear Is me mentally correcting myself immediately This is not some subconscious wish; But a mere force of habit that I seek to break
Ah, one day, I will have my own place. A house, or a pet-friendly apartment. But no matter what, or where, It will house only my body For my heart will not be there Just as it is no longer any of the places above.
