Home is Where You Know Yourself

Home is where you can feel the gentle breeze of the wind on your face, Home is where you have roof above your head that you can leave and return to Home is where your heart grows bigger every day with joy, love, and happiness Home is where the rain becomes a rainbow Home is where you can close your eyes and know you are safe Home is where your treasure is the people you love Home is where you can travel without a wall blocking your path Home is where you can talk about your tears Home is where your scars don't hold memories of fear Home is where seeds become flowers Home is where you can learn and find your purpose in life Home is where you aren't afraid to take a step forward Home is where you know your rights Home is where you aren’t afraid to ask for help Home is where you can hear your cultural melodies in the air Home is where you aren't afraid to be the light that lightens up the dark Home is where no one is covered in the blanket of loss and pain Home is where your imaginations becomes creations Home is where smiles become laughter Home is where kindness becomes contagious Home can be at the heart, in your creations, or dreams, Home is an image you make and create in your head and heart that you can call home It will always look different than someone else's Home is something everyone deserves to find, whether it's with the people you love, or the memories you make, or the steps you take, to find your purpose on the map of imagination home is where you can learn to find yourself
