(This poem started off as a Tess POV-because I'm a huge Tess supporter and am in completel denial as to her being evil- but ended up being a mixture of her..and Michael..and Max from Dark Angel. So, if you think it sounds more like Michael..or Tess..just use your imagination and enjoy)

"Home"
By: Meghan Tonjes

I'm looking for a home
Somewhere where I'll feel safe
A haven from a confusing world
Where I won't have to be brave

Remove this shell of defense
Feel something rather than this void
Looking in a mirror with the knowledge,
that I'm no longer on the outside

Find beauty in the darkness,
that encompasses my soul
In this world of chaos,
I yearn to find a well established role

Surrounded by so many,
and I've always felt alone
Slowly learning I'm more than just a soldier
I am more than flesh and bone

With every thought I've pondered
I wonder why I'm here
Did some greater purpose need me?
Can I overcome this fear?

So, I'm looking for a home
For arms to wrap around me tight
I'm looking for belonging
Something other than the night.
