Home

Home
Adj. the social unit formed by a family living together


From the outside home is a refuge the one truly safe place.
But most people don’t see what happens when the door to the “home” closes.
When you look at me all seems fine.
Because you can’t see what happens behind closed blinds.
You don’t see the cuts and bruises.
You only see the smile,
Though it only last for a little while.
You don’t see anything at all hopefully from my walls.
If you look at my face you see nothing at all.
If you look in my eyes and you have to look deep,
And it all begins to leek,
Everything is poring now all my walls have fallen down.
Now you see the fighting, the tears, the screams, and the way I always seem to bleed, but never flee, every time I fall to my
Knees I always seem to find my feet,
Because I refuse to be beat.
My eyes are pleading for you to help
But what can anyone actually do I have no hope
I know ill never get out.
But the only person to ever really look at me just completed the biggest feat.
And all I heard them say was
“lets go home”
