    "Pity is just another four letter word"

    Home is never any where I need it to be
    too close to home
    to close to be anyone I need.

    I know all those kinds of fools
    easy to just slip away
    no home to pull me through.

    Get rid of the exclamation mark, and maybe I’ll pretend to listen to your nonsense.

    Re-read the last line again and you might actually note its impossibility and thus it's opposite to your 'cliché'. And this time, try not to be a complete moron.

    Silly, silly you.

    First line-Take out "any" it is implied within the context of the line and doesn't add anything. Also helps to improve flow/rhythm.
    Third line-"to" should be "too." I am not sure how well "anyone" is working in this line. It causes me stress, but I may just need time to chew on it.
    Fifth line-I would suggest losing the word "just."

    Punctuation throughout would improve readability, or at the very least use line spacing and indentations to create natural breaks.

    Other than that, I think it is super. I actually enjoy the spin on the last line. I have a feeling I am going to be thinking about those words a great deal.

    In wisdom is grief and in knowledge sorrow,
    The wise man dies as the fool, today; tomorrow.

    I love the last line MeeQ, a good spin on the old cliche.
