Leaving for Home

The one you believe that you see

is not me.

The roads I´ve been walking with you

did not lead me to

the place I wanted to be.

The place in me.

I´m leaving for home.

It hurts, but I do.

I´m leaving for home.

You follow, but I do not want you to.

The cards you have played

are all seen.

A stranger at hand,

born and raised in a land

where I´ve never been.

I´m leaving for home …

My body´s been yearning,

my soul´s been on hold.

These chains that I couldn´t explain.

A pathway unfolds,

narrow but bright,

witnessing light.

I´m leaving for home

with truth in my hand.

I´m leaving for home.

For home.

Home.
