Finding Home
I built myself a little box
to live away my life in,
but when I tried to step inside,
I found I didn’t fit in.
So I took a little hammer,
and I pounded on my head
to see if I could cubify
to fit my little bed.
I pounded and I pounded,
but still I didn’t fit.
I needed a place to live in,
but I knew this wasn’t it.
So I put away the hammer,
and the box melted away.
Then I built a house for all of me,
and that’s where I live today
