Immune Deficiency: Part II

A new environment

same

self-destructive

girl

gazing at the cold walls of her

"home"

for the next year:

her favorite posters

and memories,

all plastered safely to the bricks

by cheap putty,

clothes strewn across the

unwelcoming tiles

in an attempt to make this place

more -

home-like?

It seems so pointless,

all the accessories to the life

she left behind...

same overflowing,

looming hamper,

same angry,

empty

trashcan...

She found her mom's old

Captain's bars

but it's too warm

to wear the jacket.



And so this addict sits

admiring her new

still humble

abode

and she wonders to herself,

when will this cycle of homesickness end?
