Home is The Place

It's been two years

Since I moved here

One year

Since I called it my home

Home is the place

With more dirt roads

Than paved

And the dirt roads

Carry the name

Of your friends grandfather

Home is the place

With the pond

And the stream

That is clearer

Than the sky

On a nice summer day

Home is the place

Where friends houses

Are 15 minutes away

But always worth the drive

Home is the place

With the school

That has the principle

Who knows everyone's name

Where the grade

Has 30 kids

And you are friends

With at least 15

Of them

Home is the place

With mountains

So green

You question

Your eyesight

And then remember

Everything

Here

At home

Is real

No fakes

Home is the place

With pine trees

For miles

And blue skies

Stretch

Even farther

Home is the place

With my

Family

My friends

Home is the place 

Meant for me

  • Why Can’t I be Both

    Why can’t I be both 

    Why can’t I like

    Crop tops 

    And still support

    Women’s rights

    Why can’t I wear makeup 

    And still think 

    All bodies

    Are beautiful 

    Why is it bad

  • The Way Of Life

    One foot

    Infront of the other

    Head held high

    Flat expression

    On my face

    The only sign

    Of any emotion

    Are my fists

    Clenched by my sides

    Or my thumb

    Tapping each finger

  • I'm Sorry

    I'm sorry 

    I'm sorry for what 

    My country is doing 

    For what we seem to think 

    Is OK   

    I'm sorry for how 

    My president is acting
