i ran away from home
and lived on top of the shed
with the ladder pulled up behind me.
i made stone tools with friction
that i never used and i ate
cheese cut into cubes
until they ran out.
i was covered in bugs
and their bites that night. and around
2 am i climbed back inside through
the kitchen window. much later
my mom told me that my stealthy crash
into the breakfast table was a lullaby.

Yo Jmjovies,

The non-capitalization of your first person singular pronoun takes away from this cute poem.

I'd also suggest spelling out "2".

~ I understand this! Your return ~ however noisy ~ was music to your mother's ears!

A precious write!

Giving you a warm, welcoming pip hug,

The lack of capatitles makes it sound child like which i think adds to the poem. Well done
