What is Home?

Home is a place that is safe. Home is somewhere that you don't have to worry about the dangers because you have your family to protect you. At home you don't need to be scared, you don't need to cry, no need to whine about the monsters under your bed. Sometimes I get scared but once I realize I'm at home with my family, that feeling goes away like that. When I'm at home I don't need to worry about kidnappers or murderers because I know that I am safe. Home is somewhere where you can be you. Home is a place where you can express yourself. When I'm at home I always be myself and have fun. I don't have to worry about being teased at home. I am comfortable at home to do what I want. I feel like I can be myself without being judged. But at school, sometimes I need to change myself a bit to make sure I don't get bullied. I make myself a bit different so I fit in even though I like myself the way it is, people may judge me. Unlike at home, where I can do anything because I know that I can be me. Home is somewhere where I don't have to worry about food or water. At home I have access to all the things I need to survive and have fun. I have lots of toys, and activities. I don't have to worry about money at home because I know my family has it under control. Home is a place where I have a roof over my head. Home is somewhere safe, somewhere where I have access to food and water, and somewhere where I can be myself.
