A New Home
Is this Home?
Is this what I must learn to believe in?
Try to find
Something good in this tragic place
Just in case
I should stay here forever
Held in this empty space
- Home, Beauty and the Beast (the Broadway musical)
I don’t like this place! It’s crowded and loud… not like our house. Some guy takes our things – what little we were allowed to take – and leads us to a small room.
“Do we have to stay here?” Alex nods. “But you’re almost eighteen! You could take care of-“
He glares. “Hush, Raoul! They were kind enough to help us. We’ll just have to make the best of it.”
Easy for him to say! He’ll be gone soon, but Paul and I are stuck.
I look back at Paul and squeeze his hand. He looks as miserable as I feel!
