When Home is Another Planet

When home feels like another planet From the one you knew before Trees sway in the wrong colors; As you walk in through the door

When “Family” are Aliens Not the ghosts who haunt your memories As they say hi you smile wide The best fake, you believe remedies

When you hand doesn't fit Into the impression left behind You know how much you’ve grown And just how much you mind

When things aren't how they used to be Or how they should be now You let a tear trace your face And look towards where life takes you
