All her clothes don't
fit her drawers
She
says it's no
problem I use the floor
She keeps
buying more
When her stray
cat ran
away
She said but I
loved it
why didn't it stay
That was her
mistake
She gave a tug to her weightless
anchor
Letting it act as her navigator
But when she got there It looked just like here
So she kept on for where She wouldn't feel adrift
She wouldn't say she
quit
But she has a habit of
jumping ship
As she starts to tip
When she thinks that
she might drown
She stops flailing and
simply shuts down
Till she gets turned
around by
Giving a tug to her weightless anchor
She let it act as her navigator
But nowhere between
Homesick and sick of home
On her map could be seen
So she remained adrift
When she left her cat
behind
She said but you'll
take it and it will be fine
It's her favorite line
and
If she's not homesick She's sick of home
And she tries to fix it By moving on
But then when she gets there It looks like here so she
Starts again and finds herself
If she's not homesick she's sick of home
And she tries to fix it by moving on
But then when she gets there
It looks like here so she
Starts again and finds herself adrift
