Astronomical,
This is not home
You are my landlord and I am nothing but a measly tenant
Begging for scraps, extensions and a warm place to lay my head at night.
This is not home
You... are not my home.
Juicy Raindrops! ♡
The tenant
“Come back home” the voice said softly, cajoling me with that tone I have never been able to say no to.
Don’t you see?
Can’t you see?
A place you can kick me out of when I no longer fit the slot you created for me is not home.
Can’t you see?
A place you can kick me out of when I no longer fit the slot you created for me is not home.
It is a rented space
And I pay rent by continuing to conform to your rules and perceptions
Without creating any ripples
And I pay rent by continuing to conform to your rules and perceptions
Without creating any ripples
Or raising my voice above a soft whisper.
This is not home
You are my landlord and I am nothing but a measly tenant
Begging for scraps, extensions and a warm place to lay my head at night.
This is not home
Not a place I can rest in comfort without fear.
You... are not my home.
Juicy Raindrops! ♡
