Where Do I Long To Be?
Bronwen Holmes
Where do I truly belong?
Always wanting for peace and calm,
Always longing to be free,
I belong inside a forest,
Where nature surrounds me.
Instead, I live inside a house,
I yearn for a tree house instead.
While gaming consoles beep and buzz,
I dream inside my head.
I dream of a land of trickling streams,
Of cascading waterfalls and exotic scents,
Where the sound of television doesn’t cut off my dreams,
And toxic fumes don’t pollute the air,
When the future dawns,
I will escape,
To the forest of my dreams.
I will choose my own fate.
