Misplaced in the Midwest
Location
In two thousand and six, my parents hit me with a kick
Leaving my home of green, rolling hills in Ireland
Moving across the ocean to this barren land of cowboys and lost dreams
8 years later--I'm stuck in a place less desired
I use substance to cover up the fears
As I think back on all the years
On how much I missed out on
--my cousins, my family, my home
I am a stranger to those people
Yet even worse, I am a stranger here
