Is this home?

And the questions that loom

I have to choose

What do you mean I have nothing to lose

-

I know I say I am old enough

I didn't think you would catch my bluff

-

I don't want to be pulled to either side

What scares me is both arms open wide

-

Why wasn’t I asked

Why was my future from me masked

-

Please don’t leave it up to me

I won’t be lured by bribery

-

This would change the years ahead

Will I still have my own bed

-

Why can’t the two of you just work this out

I wish I could say that out loud

-

Why are others telling me what to think

All I am asking for is a second to blink

-

MAKE A DECISION

I am questioned politely

EVENTUALLY

I say calmly

-

I never truly got a choice.

I guess I am moving away
