My plants have been growing

and my fish has been swimming

the birds have been singing

But it doesn't feel like home.

I went to my parent's

saw a cat on the sofa.

There was food on the table

and love all around me

But it still wasn't home.

Then out for a run

I got lost in my mind

Untied my shoes

And I realized

My home is not flowers

or warm hugs and good food

My home is my mind

This I thought and I cried.
