That Time in May

Home is a feeling never new Even if you are blinded by screams Or there are rips in the seams The people there will always love me and you At times you will cry But no matter what , there always there for you You just need to try And you will realize, the love is there too Some days you might only see red Or other days your vision will blur And they say JUST GO TO BED And then they talk about you in a murmur Hearing them say rude things might sting You might want to run away It will feel like an annoying ring But just remember that time in May Where there was laughter and smiles The days that felt longer The time you could run for miles They days that you would cry over an ice cream cone That was the real kid, your real self that you locked away And after remembering You might just remember where you are: home Don't just leave, there's always a way
