Anywhere But Home
They say home is where
the heart is, not so for me
home is corrupt and home is
wretched, home is the last house
on the left, the only one
without the white picket
fence and the freashly
painted shutters
They say home sweet home,
I think home horrid home as the
vile smell of the doormat
that has welcomed to many
reaches my nose
I listen to the deep creaks
and moans of the house
as I place my foot on
the threashhold
Peering inside, trying to see
past the gloom, I remember what
They ask...
And where will you be
spending eternity?
I gently close the door and
step off the ancient porch
as I walk down the path
I say
Anywhere but here,
Anywhere but home
