I am Home

When I walk through the door I can hear my dad showering blasting the loudest Albanian music. Home is when I am in my peaceful bed I can hear my cat meowing so loud that it keeps our family up. When I finally fall asleep though I can feel my cat snuggling up to me her fur is so fuzzy. When she is with me I forget all my worries. When I come home and my dad is on the couch sitting I can smell my dad socks that smell like a roof. Home is when I lay down on my bed I can feel the fresh paint on the wall that feels like a cold breeze when I am beside it. When I am home I see my family all together waiting for me so we can go to the coffee shop. Home is when I can see my sisters playing secret santa and we are opening gifts. When I am home I can see my calming room where I can see all my stuff that's untouched. Home is when I am sick and my mom does not let me go to school and makes the best chicken soup. When I am home my sister shoves a cookie in my mouth like there is no more time on earth. Home is the place where I can feel safe and feel the warmth coming from all the happiness in the air. Home is where I belong
