Home Where I feel Comfort reassurance Consolation Coating Enveloping Drowning me as snuggly as Hot chamomile honey tea And caramel-cinnamon Biscoff cookies Enjoyed inside While it rains. As safe As hiding under A heavy blanket From the monsters That lie low Sneak lurk In the dark. A place of Friendship Happiness Peace. Home Where I look out the window And see A simple place Where I was Born Raised Living in Growing up Filled with happiness. Home Where the expectations Are replaced with People who Acknowledge Care for Sympathize with Accept My true self. Home Where the true respect And contentment Gratefulness Euphoria Lies within The people Who love me The floors That were sock-skated down By giggling children The walls Ornamented by hand drawn pictures Of stick figures holding hands. Now I wonder Where did those days go? Do I miss them? Why is everything so hard now? I want to be a little kid again. I yearn for freedom. Home A soft smile That lasts eternally In our minds Hearts Souls. Home. Home. Happy.
