bitter_irony_of_homecoming
ashmanzhou my parents came today to this place
to free me from the cage
which they pay to keep me in
they wish to take me home
on a few conditions

they remarked on how this i was
how drawn i was

they want to take me home
what i need is love they say
the chance to meet and make friends
not an overworked psycologist
a cramped room
and three meals a day
they say the same mistake wont happen again

but how can they make sure that i
fail not in my quest to die

cosmetic surgery too for my marred visage
been saving up for eight months for it
my eyes healed and scars made hidden

but then a mention springs up of emma
in death my heart still aches for her
they embarrassed turn away
they tell me her mother asked them
not to allow me to her funeral
and betray my rememberance
she hates my dark soul for her daughter

but a problem now
my sister at home waiting
i am never to see her
she has never seen my scars
they have not even told her my fate
instead a twisted web of lies

their faces eager watching me
tears held for a gracious rush
to plunge crying into their arms
i do no such thing though tears well up
i turn away
they query me
that i do not wish to go away

i do not wish to travel from one prison
to rot in another
be it physical or otherwise
i have lived eleven months here
my soul resides here in pieces
but the date is set
four weeks and i travel home

the memory of me burns their dreams
i see not why my presence will heal them
