    Home.

    I want to go home but I don't know where home is.
    Fear of change has kept me in place for too long,
    Now I'm scared I won't feel again.

    My identity swirls around me,
    I reach for it, but it keeps slipping away,
    The memories taunt me,
    They know I want them back,
    And they know they are unattainable.

    I want to go home but I don't know where home is.
    Stuck in a whirlwind of who's and why's,
    Is it a surprise, my confusion?

    I've always hated change- But change is all I've got,
    This house is the same but it's changed-
    And I want the old one back.

    The tears that flow are the only constant,
    I wish the wind would stop blowing me everywhere. . .

    I want to go home but I don't know where home is.
    These eyes are different than the ones I had last year-
    Less optimistic and naive,
    And I miss the old ones that took everything in with wonder.

    But this sea has been tossing me to and fro,
    and it's carried me so far from home,

    So now it's impossible to go back,
    But more impossible to forget.

    The worst form of torture-
    All I want is stability instead of wobbly futures and lofty promises.

    I want to go home, but I don't know how to get there.
    The road signs were switched by a devious enemy who won't show his face.
    Confused and lost- I just want no more change.

    I want to go home, but I don't know where home is.
    I want to go home, but I'm sure that it's gone.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
