Other people aren't homes
they're shelters
guarding you from the outside danger.
Staying makes you feel safe for a second
being wrapped around in safe blankets
watching no sky change colors
moving an inch until you get stuck
but
it's your choice
a cold bold choice
to go outside alone again
but it's the only choice that you always
always
have to make.
Other people aren't homes
they're granades and bombs and
they can explode any second
but it's our choice
to diffuse them or let them explode
but it's the only choice that we always
always
must make.
