Is this, really home?

I lived to leave.
Leave the cage they named home.
Leave the prison they dubbed school.
But now my wish is true.
The guilt of leaving my prison and cage.
The thing I lived in,
can't defy what I lived for.

The author's comments:
My plan of leaving my home to go to Japan once I'm older. I thought of the future having me think of my homeland. How will I feel in the future, from how I would feel now.
