Just yesterday the moon was full
It’s light, a warm yellow glow
The sky lit with stars so picturesque, and calm
Two days ago, the snow fell like glitter in the air
The laughs and small-talk of people passing by
Perplexed by Nature and her clear blue skies
I’d like to think that this place isn’t just a bubble
The place I’ve lived my life for the past year and a half
I don’t want it to fade into forgetful memories
As this merry-go-round comes to a halt, and I -
get off
A week from now, I’ll be back home; for good
But what is home?
Home,
are the people I could turn to when I was in a dark place
Those who I trusted spending time in silence with
Those who made me realize, it is okay to feel appreciated
I never thought that I would leave
But during this time, I learned a lot about myself I didn’t know
That I’m not ready to cease the face-to-face with my family
And I still need to work through some things
because the shadows don’t just leave, they fade
and come back with time
But I refuse to say goodbye just yet
I still have seven days until the glass around me cracks
and I will be back home again, ready to step into a new one
and sit upon a new merry-go-round
