Feeling Small Sometimes
When home is no longer there
And there's no place
To spend the holidays,
Except where you are
And you are totally alone-
Choking, realizing
Your unripe independence
And needing the security
And warmth
Of a real family...
But cannot reach to your own
And everyone's away with theirs
You are small
Very, very small
Until you disappear
Like things forgotten...
