The Perfect Home

Now I come to school,

The place where you broke me apart,

The place where I try to look smart,

The place where I feel no heart.

No one else knows the build of my wall,

No one will catch me when I fall,

No one will come when I call.

Home is where I want to be,

Yet this is the place where there's too much tragedy,

A cage I dwell in thinking of being free.

A family we all have,

They make us feel alone and say you're a mere phase,

Family will break you as you walk through a maze,

Steal your map so will become lost in the haze.

But then there's another place,

Away from any other,

Where a finger won't pierce you,

No words can you hear,

Never need for fear,

Under those great boughs,

Out in the forest.

This is where I belong,

This is my school and home.

This is my family.

They always save me,

Catch me when I fall,

See this wall,

There at my call.

Their wise limbs will hold me still.
