I am from

I am from two homes

One on the east

One on the west

My mother

My father

They thought it was best

For me to stay on a quest

So I would not lose focus

So I would not feel hopeless

They did not want me to feel like it is my fault

So I would not lock my feelings in a vault

But where I am from

It is always on me

Everyone would leave

I was never at peace

Never able to release my demon

That created a beacon in my broken heart

I was smart to be apart From those who depart from my life

I am from a home that has taught me to keep away from people who never stay

I am from a place where people come and go

I see people there but they are really not

They sit like robots

And I just hope they can see me

With their gleaming eyes

And with their wise words

I am from a place where the grass 

Just might be greener on the other side
