Wondering Where Home Is

by | Jun 20, 2017 | poems | 1 comment

i want to write words
like the screams they echo
in my heart
like a thousand drums
beating out the cadence
of a silence
that is so much louder than words
like a knife that
pierced my heart so long ago
and the blood pouring forth
the ink
of a thousand lost souls
wandering inside me
wondering where home is

when even i don’t know
the answer
adrift in an endless abyss
wondering where home is

i have untold stories
hiding deep inside me
and they want to scream and rage
at the cage
i somehow ended up inside me

they pound against my skull
demanding answers
demanding to be heard
while i wander around

wondering where home is
wondering where home is

wondering
where
home
is
