For many years
Multiple decades
I've felt
My house was my
Home safety net
I could never leave
Never move
Never sell this place
Just the thought of selling
Would bring on anxiety
To the point of immobilization
It was the only place I felt safe
It was my sanctuary
And yet
When you spend 2 years bedridden
In that sanctuary
It starts to look
Just a tad
Like a prison
When an illness without a cure
Takes your dreams away
Your ability to leave your own bedroom
The home safety net
Is suffocating
Perhaps with age
Lessons learned about
Humanity
Moving on isn't such a fearful thing
Change must happen
Because the same old
For 25 years now
Is no longer good enough
People grow out of places
Some more out of necessity then others
We left one country for this one
Hoping for a better future
And we got it for the most part
But no one could have predicted
ME to claim the child's present
And cast the future into doubt
The child now an adult
With decisions to make
Of how to continue to exist
When there isn't any hope
In the home safety net anymore
So what is one to do?
