P:ear

I was taking in my surroundings at a creative space for at-risk youth

My friend, Ernest, in his corner
Reading R.A. Salvatore
Shane and Nicole's affection, for everyone to see
Mouse is talking in riddles
That make a world of sense to me
One man boy band for once
Not too shy to perform
And South America belongs to a weird goth kid

I never want things to change
Things should stay the same
My comfort zone rests within these
Restless youth who are just trying to face the day

I walk through these gallery doors and
I see all these faces.....

I am home
