After only a week here
I feel almost at home.
I am, in a way, I guess
as I'm on U.S. soil.
However, I feel in limbo,
in a semi-real world.
This isn't my real world,
it's paradise in a jar.
I go back to reality
on Tuesday morning--
back to my real world,
the world that I escaped.
I must go back there--
however, it will be hard to.
Must I really go back?--
back to the reality of marriage
and school, and of work?
I wish to be free from all
but such is not my life.
*I'm sure we all wish to be void of responsibility at some time or another--I certainly do.
