House is not a Home

How can these walls
have such a hold on me?
Each time I feel I'm ready
it turns a little,
tightens it's grip.

This is what I wanted.

Set my mind on:
this kitchen
this garden
this lounge
this bedroom

You were meant
to make me happy,
why now do I feel
so trapped? You mock
my material dreams,
as again you turn
and tighten.

This is not what I wanted.

Euphoniuos laughter
I heard in my mind,
returns now to taunt.
You are laughing at me;
at my foolish belief,
that your walls
could make
me happy.
