I Am Home

Chapter 7

After I left the voice message,

it took me a while to get there,

about an hour and a half,


and I was anxious the whole drive.


I had not been there in years—

hadn’t even called back.

I just, left…

without saying goodbye.


It’s one of the things I regret the most.


And when I grew older,

had kids of my own—

I’ve come to notice…


the way I feel right now,

was the way you were feeling,


that day I l...

The Voicemail

Chapter 6

“Hey… Dad. It’s me.


I don’t know if this number still works, or if you even check your messages anymore, but…I’m leaving this just in case.


It’s…been a long time. I’ve started and erased this call more times than I can count. But I guess I need to say this, finally. Out loud.


After Mom died, everything fell apart.


I know she was your whole world. She was mine too. But the way you changed afte...

Looking Back

Chapter 5

Looking back,

I didn’t know I would end up here…

a wife and child,

a stable job.


My son is now 7 years old and in elementary school.

We spoil him with lots of love and affection,

and it’s got me thinking…


about my mom.


She passed when I was young,

but I still remember her voice vividly.

I recalled something she once said to me:


“Take care of your father once you’re older. He might get a little...

I Am Home
Newborn

Chapter 4

On one certain day at work,

I got a call from her.


“Hi baby, what’s up?”


“I’m back from the doctor—and guess what.”


“What?”


“I’m pregnant.”


I didn’t know what to say,

so I told her to tell me where she was at right now,

and said I’d be there right away.


I told my manager this,

and he immediately told me I was done for the day.


So I got in my truck and drove back home.


I burst through the f...

I Am Home
When Love Came In

Chapter 3

I feel, lonely.


There’s no better way to put it.


After being surrounded by people for so long,

I now long to have someone near me at all times,

not strangers that come and go,

but friends,


maybe even a lover.


Then as if my thoughts were read aloud,

she appeared before me.

A very beautiful woman,

who was now concerned about my lack of a response.


“…Hellooo?”


“Hm—oh, I’m…sorry I was, lost in t...

Peace

Chapter 2

Getting by without any help,

proved difficult.


I got a job at a hardware store a couple of towns away,

but they didn’t pay enough for me to afford rent.

I slept in my truck the first few months,

until I was finally able to find a place to rent.


It was a very old and crammed space,

but the rent was cheap,

and the neighbors friendly.


After a few months,

I had settled into my apartment.

I had made...

I Am Home
The Day I Left

Chapter 1

The day my mom passed…


everything changed.


My father became grumpier,

and started to drown his sorrows.

Eventually, his grumpiness turned to anger,

and he pointed it towards me.


He was drunk most nights,

but the times he wasn’t,

he would lash out at me,

and hit me across the face with his hands,

or a bottle, a remote control you name it…


he’s most likely hit me with it.


One night,

City Lights

Tenshi

1 min read

For some reason,

they feel, warm…


the city lights.


After a long, dragged out day,

criticism,

pessimism,

I just want to go home…ism.


But I don’t.


I sit outside the coffee shop,

a soft breeze caresses me as I wait for my coffee—

a momentary peace I wish would last forever.


But alas,

this day will repeat itself tomorrow,

and the day after that.


So for now,


I’ll enjoy this momentary peace,

Bleeding Into Beauty

Tenshi

1 min read

The sky has not cried,

but the world beneath it has.


In quiet rooms,

where silence speaks louder than sorrow,

in the folds of a letter no one was meant to read,

in eyes that look straight ahead—


but see everything they’ve lost.


Some days ache more than others,

like wounds that unstitch by pulling its thread.

We learn to move with the pain,

carrying it gently,


as if it were something sacred.

3 Years From Now

Tenshi

1 min read

Sometimes I wonder…

what will I be doing,

three years from now?


Will I be aiming for a Bachelor’s?

Will I be a cashier at a retail store?

Will I own a small shop?


Will I be an amateur author?

Maybe an infamous poet?

A famous screenwriter?


Will I be healing?


No matter what I’ll be doing,

there is one thing I’m hoping for,

only one,


that I’m happy with what I’m doing....
