Home

My home isn't a place,

Its not confined to walls and windows,

No roof to keep the rain off,

It doesn't have a perfect kitchen,

Or a giant living room.

 

My home has a heart,

That beats to the same rhythm as mine,

Letting me in easier then opening any door.

 

My home has beautiful eyes,

That I wouldn't trade for any window.

 

My home has arms that hold me,

Keeping me safe,

Better than any walls could ever.

 

My home keeps me company,

Making me less lonely,

Unlike an empty house would.

 

My home is perfectly imperfect,

And that is what makes them home.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
