I Outgrew The Shoes That Used to Take Me Home explores the feeling of longing for home when it isn't a place anymore:

​

           I’ve observed this pattern within myself,

           A few words that I repeat when living in uncertainty.

           A few words that I whisper as tears leave my eyes:

                      “I want to go home”.

                                 A few words that confused me when I found myself saying them while being “home”.

           A few words that broke me when I realised that my house could no longer protect me from uncertainty.

           That my mom no longer had the answers for the struggles I was facing.

                      That this idea of “home” was really just a place of safety and comfort.           

 

                                 Time to face the world I guess.
