My Not So Simple Life

I am from countless ever-changing homes

A home by a beach was the first

Falling asleep hearing the waves

Plane trip to a new world

A home on a peaceful river

Watching big construction machines working away

Flying from that river house

That lovely small home going to a nice home on top of a hill

I come home to my cats them meowing for pats

My parents separate

Coming home to another new home

Up in the sky looking over San Francisco

Going from home to home

From seeing my cats to seeing the city

I am from a place where I have a dream

Of becoming someone, I am not

That person may never be me

But I hope that they will

This person is an architect

One that likes to build modern homes

The one home I strive to design is a building 

On the edge of a waterfall with spiral staircases

I am from a family that loves eating

Weetabix when the sun first shows itself 

Feeding my cats

Hearing their meows

Vegemite toast when the sun is as high as it can fly

Listening to a podcast on the sunbed

Spaghetti bolognese watching the sun’s last flames flicker away

Sitting on the sofa seeing a show play on 

Weetabix as the sun’s rays are back

Saying good morning to my dad

Missing my cats

Going to my room

Chatting, relaxing 

Sitting and hearing the quiet

I am from a family that starts every year with something joyous 

My funny family

Spending fantastic times together

Everyone

In the same house

I feel so happy with them all

And before a movie

We make cookies!

They taste like I am biting

A sunset of warm sweetness

Watching My Neighbor Totoro

Is the last thing we do every year

I am from a place where people say

“You like jazz” a bit too much

It can be a bit annoying

Almost all the time

It gets on my nerves

But not all the time

Sometimes I can laugh it off

I am from two different worlds

One with cute cats and a cozy home

A fantastic view of the city is there too

The other with no pets but a luxury view

A big hall to run up and down, annoying everyone

Both homes are relaxing as you look out their views and hear their quietness 

This is where is am from
