Xerophilic

Xerophilic: tolerant of an environment that is poor in available resources.



I think I am pretty xerophilic when going home,

especially times when I feel all alone.

It can be hard and tough to stay here sometimes,

hear my parents argue and all their binds.

There is no place I can really run away,

if it were truly my choice I wouldn't stay.



All my close friends are from college,

from the state of PA which I rather acknowledge.

I have a few people to visit at home which keeps me sane,

aquantiances, teaches, and places to visit I can name.

At least that is something that can get me out,

because sometimes when I am here I want to shout!



I try staying upstairs getting some work done,

even reading a book or walking outside for fun.

But after a while it gets frustrating you see,

I miss my friends that are special to me.

I rather be with them then stuck in this hell,

my friends pretty much know that all too well.

But I try to be xerophilic to get me through,

that's enough to stop me from staying blue.



It is amazing to me how xerophilic I have been,

when I have been through so much here it is a sin.

It is the hope that I will someday move out,

that keeps me xereophilic I shout.



Until then whenever I come home,

I'll keep being xereophilic and not so alone.

I shall think about the life I have out of this place,

and that shall keep me xereophilic with a smile on my face.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written in 2003. I thought of a better poem with X, although it took me longer to find. It actually fits me quite well considering my situation here at home in NJ. Read my poem Cursed to get better idea of what I mean.
