Bound

Here am I

My job is done.

Children raised

The race is run.

I’m tired of this

Stagnant place

So tired of loneliness

Of empty space.

Tired of hurting,

And hurting ones

I value the most.

Tired of caring

And loving past ghosts.

Tired of being restricted

Tired of all the medications

That keep me constricted

I want to see the ocean at least

Once more

To walk on sandy beaches and play on the shore.

To be loved truly

To be home but I’m

Bound.
