Home

How can you live in a world without hope

Or go through the day seeing nothing but darkness

I know we all seek deeper meaning at some level

Deep down inside we yearn

For that feeling of home

And its only illusory thoughts

We allow to exist in this world

That tells us we cannot have that

Right here and right now

I’ve felt those stirrings

Of not wanting to be here

Of wanting to go home

But its those moments that I know

I have succumbed to the unreal

Giving ethereal imaginings credence

I have given birth to conflict

From within my own heart

But this, I do know

I wanted to be here

Or I would simply and suddenly

Cease to exist at all

We all hold that power

And have a divine right to be here

Embrace that truth

And the love from within you

Will bring you safely

And so beautifully…
