No place is perfect

Especially not this one

Our facades crack and crumble

The tears stream and pour

The screams echo

Two against one isn't fair

As I return to "my room"

Which as you keep pointing out doesn't really belong to me

Nothing does

While I'm not sure how I feel about you

I learned to tie my shoes in this bedroom

I read my first book on that chair

My baby pictures hang in these halls

So as I sob under the covers, surrounded by stuffed animals,

It's not hard to see why this is home
