Poems ✍️

I'm homeless to the world
no place to call my own
you plucked me from the vine
blindfolded me and took me away
now here in a strange land
unwanted with no choice but to stay
I'm homeless
everything belongs to you
all that once was mine
I know, you took that too
why am I here
to witness all the pain
to feel devastation
as it pours down like rain
reliving past memories
remembering old travel
feeling the splinters within
as old pain unravels
I once knew the stars
yes I could read the Heavens above
I understood the rainbow
and knew the meaning of true love
one with the universe
at peace with the wonders of the world
now PTSD drives me
and I'm a homeless little girl
