Disconnected

Have you ever felt like you aren't all there,
Like a part of you is far away somewhere,
Or like you have everything together one moment,
Then you just lose something, and you try hard to remember it,
It's like calling someone on the phone,
And all you hear is a dial tone,
I feel like my mind works like a phone at times,
When people try telling me what I don't want to hear, It's like a disconnected line,
" The person you are trying to reach is disconnected for the time being.",
A monotone voice in my head starts repeating,
"And will stay that way for the duration,
Of this boring conversation,
Please, don't leave a message after the beep."
The voice continues starting to plead,
"Thank you, and have a nice day."
Which in my own translation means "Go away.",
But people keep talking to me ,
Unaware that I haven't been listening,
I wonder if they'll ever realize,
Or continue talking to me when I don't reply,
Either way this conversation will remain deflected,
And my mind will remain disconnected.

Change...Something we adapt too

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

A Home Away From Home!

A Home Away from Home!

A home is where one starts from
A home where it feels right to walk around without shoes.
A home where it’s okay to scratch where it itches
A home where they understand you
A home where you can say anything you please
A home where food tastes homely
A home where you feel safe to sleep
A home where whenever you go they take you in
A home where you fight for TV remote
A home where your parents live
A home where you feel going back to
A house where you make it A Home
A Home Away from Home!
