"Home"

I had spent a lifetime searching for it
From place to place, I’d flit on a moment’s notice
Living out of bags, tweezing my eyebrows in strange bathrooms
Where was it?  How could I find it?

I had run out of strategies
I had run out of will power
I had run out of hope
I began to wonder if such a place even existed

Then one day, when all seemed lost
You took me in your arms and squeezed me tight
I felt safe, I felt accepted, I felt loved
It was in that brief moment that I found what I had been looking for
I was finally home.
