Where am I? Am I home? No It is far too dark for me to be at home Thunder rolls and lightening flashes through out the sky Tears began to roll down my cheeks I just want to be at home Wrapped in my warm blankets My radio playing soft music As I walk I see a light as bright as a car's headlights I walk towards it I awake in my room A storm brewing out my window It seems that I had never traveled too far from home after all
