I'm still counting the bricks to the home I'm building for myself.
I'm still laying out the blueprint,
and figuring out what color walls I want.
I'm still figuring out how to tuck myself into bed each night,
and how to turn off the nightlight without feeling scared.
I'm still learning how to make myself a cup of tea,
and what food fuels my body best.
I'm still learning how to be my own home,
one brick at a time.

I'm still learning how to make myself a cup of tea,
and what food fuels my body best.
I'm still learning how to be my own home,
one brick at a time.
