i tried to go
home
before i called for help
but then i remembered time
translates as "forever"
in the metric system
i tried to go
home
before i drowned
but my footsteps
were met with the waves
before i jumped
in a puddle
bigger
than
myself
i am home
now
i try to unlearn
that happiness
is hard to swallow
i am home
today
and pain has become
harder to dissolve
i am today
and i am
grateful
