At Home
At Home
In my sisters’ room
It is a sauna
The heater grinds up too high
The sounds of rusty
Squeaky bed springs
Bouncing
The vanilla scented perfume
On the desk
Fills the air
And covers my body
Head to toe
A cloud of smoke
From the straightening iron overheats
On the bed sheets
My sisters pinch me
And sharp nails cut deep
Into my skin
My pain gets replaced
With joy
At seeing
Their annoyed faces
Giving death glares
This is my everyday
Everynight
At home
