Return to Sender

In partnership with

I got a letter in the post, I was up before the sun,
Wrong address, wrong intention — I knew this wouldn’t be fun.
They hoped I’d accept what they sent, the weight they couldn’t bear,
But I don’t read unfinished stories, you can not pay me to care.

Return to sender, tone unknown —
No such number, no such zone.

I got back advice I didn’t ask for, tied with doubt in twine,
Comps from people with no closings, trying to underprice what's mine.
I never open those packages — their vision doesn’t match my style;
If it wasn’t achieved with my mind, I’ll return it with a smile.

Return to sender, back you go —
No such person, stay in escrow .

Next came guilt in a manila fold, stamped urgent in red ink,
Debt they tried to make me carry, hoping I’d react and sink.
But I don’t co-sign old burdens; Or pay down loans I never made,
I’ve learned to spot a hidden fee and let the contracts fade.

Return to sender, leave my phone —
No such number, no such zone.

Then came accusations wrapped in plastic, heavy with someone else’s fear,
Appraisals from the uninvested, trying to price out my career.
I don’t let strangers do inspections on a structure they’ve never seen —
My foundation’s made of choices, poured in concrete, sharp and clean.

Return to sender, watch your tone —
I hold the deed; I own my throne.

And then — the glittering package — shortcuts dressed in gold,
The kind of lead that looks warm but disappears and turns cold.
So I dropped it in the mailbox, and sent it special D.
Bright and early next morning, It came right back to me…

Return to sender, dream postponed —
Not my contract, not my loan.

This time I’m gonna take it myself and return it by hand
And if it comes back the very next day then I’ll understand:
I’ve been granting open access to things not listed in my plan,
Letting offers hit my inbox that were only meant for spam.

Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone,
I live a life by design — If it’s not mine it gets redirected on its own.

Return to sender — carved in stone.
What’s not mine can’t be my own.
Return to sender. Unclaimed zone.
Wrong direction. Not my home.
