hoME

My home is uniquely me and I am uniquely home. My home boosts me up when I am low,they give me confidence from down below.They give me hope for the future and hope for the past. They're warm and soft,cold and sharp.They're always what I need. My home is uniquely me and I am uniquely home.My home is like no other and quite different then yours.Mine feels sad at points then loved at others.Excited like me but then disappointed just the same. My home is uniquely me and I am uniquely home.My home is shaped quite differently then I.We share the same emotions,feelings and all the cries.They help me feel, they help me be.We put up walls and roofs to protect us ahead.We sway,cry and feel insane, we feel safe and soft but not much the same. My home is uniquely me and I am uniquely home.My home is anything,anyone and anywhere.It holds me close and feels oh so familiar.They aid me in life and survival.They’re a safe space for me and my brother,my cat and my dog,my father and my mother. My home is uniquely me and I am uniquely home.They dust off the dirt from my knees they blow the grim from my hands.They’re truly where I can proudly stand.They embody me so well.They make me feel so swell. Thank you habitat for humanity for making a safe and inspiring place a real and achievable thing in people’s lives.
