Sleepless nights
and silly roommate fights,
hungry days
and a life to chase.
Yes, we are hungry,
and homesick.
Tired of
pizzas and cheese sticks.
A journey we hope to
travel soon.
A wish to go back
to where we started.
Stay anywhere but,
this perpetual maze.
A place we call home,
is where we dreamed
Of coming to a place
where we dream again
only to go home.
A convoluted circle of life
unbreakable
trapped us somehow.
A wormhole in the sky
with an illusion
of a radiant sunshine.
You worry too much
Mom and Dad.
I’m fine!
That’s what I show the world.
A mask,
and a flawed smile.
Unknowingly,
Isn’t this what I dreamed of?
