Home What is home? A home is a place that isn’t just a structure, With people, pets, and plenty of furniture. A home is a cave where family guides you through the darkest times and into the light, It’s where I protect my family with all my might. Silence fills the room at night, reminding me of a waterfall. Memories bring back the times I crawled on the floor chasing a ball. A home is a court house full of sibling rivalry Laughter and positivity surrounds my family. A home is a storage like in the movie ‘Inside out’ , Where I assemble my memories, And look back at these stories. Every morning I see my mom’s messy hair that appears similar to a lion’s mane. I spot my dad on his phone, scrolling through Facebook, looking entertained. A home is a therapy space where I can reveal my true self, And where I can show all my emotions including negative ones felt. Happiness and love roams around my home In which creates an extremely powerful dome. A home is a place where my family gathers around the fireplace where it's warm and cozy. It’s where I look around myself and feel extreme safety. A home is a comfy bean bag, where I close my eyes and can feel comfort And where I can picture children running in the park of Rutherford. The aroma of plants wafts into my nose Which strangely reminds me of cinnamon rolls. A home is where I smile at these thoughts And soon enough drift into a peaceful sleep without exhaust. I dream of people without a place to call their own, And the sadness is clearly heard in their tone. A home is a church where I put my hands together and hope that I can be a helper, In just the use of a pencil and paper.
