Home Sweet Home

among the dead, i feel at home

among the dying, i no longer feel alone

gravestones make pillows

hospital beds, fine wooden coffins

the landlords never on my back for rent

as i lay in my pad, six feet deep

no job, no utilities

no purpose, no future

but thats just not my problem anymore

in my dirt filled sleeping bag

i listen to the rain fall

as i rest under the tree

i listen to it fall on me

and as the rain falls from the sky

i can hear it, but i never get wet

atleast, not anymore

Aaron, I've read many of your pieces and though dark I find them extremely profound. you encapsulate a lot of what many would like to say but fear ridicule.Good for you,never be afraid to express yourself!hugs!
