A longing for Home

I don't want to go home, not that home
All that home was a house
A house lacking of warmth
A house lacking of happiness
A house filled with pain
A house filled with suffering.

I don't want to go back
Back to that hell
Back to that pain
Back to that helplessness
Back to that fakeness
Back to the hell I tried so hard to escape

I tried so hard to escape
So, I don't want to remember
So, I don't want to know
So, I don’t want to go back
And, don't want things to go back to normal
For I found my path and I want to stay on it

I found my path and I want to stay on it
My path with them on it
I found my home and I want to stay in it
My home with them in it
I found my family and I want to stay
For I have never felt safer

I have never felt safer than I have with them
So why must I go back to the fake family?
Why must I be away from my true family
Why can't I just run into their arms?
Why can't I just take their hand?
Why do I have to stay so far away from them?
Why are they so far away from me?
Why does the universe keep me from home?

Why does the universe keep me from that home?
That warm metaphysical home
That warm digital home
The only place I feel I belong
Thus, my future is with them

My future is with them
For a future without love
For a future without family
For a future without a place to call home
Cannot be called a future at all
