Home
what really is a home
is it four brick walls and a roof overhead
or is it insulation so I’m warm in the winter
is it a home if I live alone
or is it only a home when there’s others there
is it a place to store my belongings
or is it that blank canvas for me to decorate
home
is it a place with my memories
a place I ran to my parents
they grab me in their arms and spin me through the air
they kiss me on the cheek
and ruffle my hair
Now I hate it when they do that
I always say no and flatten it out again
I stay sat
and silent on the chair
is it a home without chairs
I guess it is
i don’t know
home
is it a place where my sister began to hate
She began to hate me
i hate her for it
i truly do because
because
because
I don’t know because
I only know my feelings
but do I even know those
home
what even is it
is it a house at all
or is it people
or a dog
or a cat
Is it a street
a city
A country
what
is
home
where
Is
home
can you point me in the right direction
please
i just want to be warm
to know
what is my home
i
want
my
home
back.
