Home Again

Home Again

Last night I walked out on my own,
Into closed rooms with ominous doors.
Away from the safety net of people,
Just a brother who wishes I'd vanished,
And parents who never come down.
Now I stir awake at 5 pm,
And rest my eyes at dawn.
I have no one to answer to,
And nothing to go on.
So what do I do to live alone?
I think I'll lock the doors,
Maybe have sleepovers.
I should throw a party,
Full of laughter and noise.
To drive away the silence.
