Going Back Home

entry picture

I'll be going back to Washington soon 
I think it's time to go home
I've been gone for four years 
I wonder how things have changed
Dad always tells me that the country's died since I left
That I'm lucky that my mom was born in Romania
My plan was to go back last year 
It's time to face the things I can't face
Time to face the broken Healthcare System
I also have time to go see the mountains that I grew up with
Out of seven languages  
English has always been the hardest
I think it's time to go home
I'll be going back to Washington soon
