There Is A Stranger In My Home
My family and I were disturbed,
We caught him eating our food
And drinking my tea.
I need my tea.
He sits at the table with us and
Nonchalantly chats about his day
In a downtrodden way,
Mother and Father were offended,
Witnessing a man with no respect.
Yet, I saw a man with nothing to protect
And nothing he could forget.
In those experienced eyes
I saw there was much on his mind.
Motives untold, on a distant island they lie
So he sits with us and pretends to dine.
The reason my parents never kicked him out
I insist: They hang on a bit of doubt
That this strange man may change.
To them, time doesn’t determine age.
He is the strangest man I have ever known.
I insist: He is the product of a boy who has grown.
What have I become?
A man-- A stranger in his own home
