Built From Memories

It isn't just a place Where I sleep Or where my things live It isn't just a roof Or a room with four walls It’s where I feel safe Happy Loved Respected Where I don't have to worry about being myself It’s where memories are made Secrets are shared Memories that Aren't just pictures on my phone Or a frame hanging on my wall Memories that Stay beside me That haunt me Not to scare me But show something once mattered It’s where I feel happy Where stories are told during dinner Where we laugh during movies It's where I don't have to pretend Where mistakes are normal Where the craziness is sometimes okay It isn't always perfect or calm It can be loud Messy Annoying Home may be imperfect But that’s what makes it real
