What Is The True Meaning Of Home?

What is the True Meaning of Home? A home is where you find your peace. A place where all worry is ceased, But sometimes a home is hard to find, It slips away, just out of your mind. A home is where you’ll always find a warm embrace, A place where you’ll always feel safe, a neat quiet space. But what if home isn’t where you stay? What if it’s lost, and just slips away? It’s where love fills the air, Where you know someone is always there. But when silence is all you hear, Home is just nothing, where everything is all unclear. Home is supposed to be a place with light, Where everything is always supposed to feel right. But when days are filled with tears, Your heart is filled with fears. The place where old memories are forgotten, Where things are slowly left to be rotten. A place that used to be loved, Now gone and no longer beloved. Home now feels like a place with fears, A place that is no longer near. With all the walls that start closing in, All you want is to restart it all again. The place where you were born, The beginning and the start. What is the true meaning of home?
