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.
