My Home 🏡💕
Before, we lived in the country side
Where the only sound I heard was the wind
And red birds flew above my head
And I slept in a hay hump
Underneath the glowing stars
But then my parents told me they hated it here
And packed our bags
We drove through so many states
Images of the countryside slowly fading away
Now I stand outside our new house and see
An array of cars lined up down the whole road
Honking, praying that they’ll be out of this line soon
People are in every direction I look
Screaming, chatting, throwing trash on the ground
Like a selfish herd of penguins
But when I went on a walk
A nice man offered me a bracelet
With goldenn jewels and silver beads
And as I walked past the chattering kids in the blue playground
A little girl asked me to play with her
We played until the sun went down
On my walk back home
I saw the sun dipping behind
These beautiful tall buildings with glistening windows
And people laughing and talking in restaurants
This place was finally starting to become my home
