From me: &quot;The Point of writing isn&#039;t so others can understand what&#039;s going on in your mind. It&#039;s so you can understand what&#039;s going on inside yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> By me: &quot;Who needs you when I have these yellow lines on this road?&quot;

I know a place,
A place I can go,
A place where serenity,
Is found.

I know a place,
A place I can stay,
A place where love,
Is found.

I love this place,
The place I can go,
The place I can stay,
The place that I call,
Home.

I have always wanted to leave home and be free. Everyone says, "I cant wait until I turn eighteen!" Well... the truth is... Most of them end up coming back.
