it shouldn’t be that easy

i’ll leave,
          so there will finally be a reason
          for why i feel so alone.

i am not afraid
            of open hands anymore.
            i am hungry for the shelter
            i once pretended not to need.
            so someone please love me
            so much
            that what i was denied
            becomes a language
            i no longer speak.

i am tired
            of making a home
            out of a place
            where i have to keep asking
            if i am allowed to stay.
