Slumber

I like to slumber, slumber in my bed.

But when morning comes my slunber is dead.

I work all day I sleep all night, whats my favorite part you ask?
Sleeping in my bed.

Home.
What is home?
Is it a place where you know you're always welcome?
Is it a place where you can be yourself?
Does it have to be a place?
Is a home only one place, or person?
What's my home?
Who is my home?
My home is my birthplace
Kenya.
My home is my friends and family
I don't physically live in my home
I'm only there mentally and emotionally.
My definition of home is a place, person, or thing where you will always belong
Do you belong in a home?
My definition of home is not physical. No, it's not a place where I sleep
Is your home physical?
My definition of home is a place where I can always laugh and make others laugh with me.
What's your definition of home?

Ink Scribe

Safe

Home is a place Where no one Can hunt you. Home is a place Where no one Can hurt you. Home is a place In your mind Where it is safe. For isn't that what Home should be? A Home is a Burning light That keeps the Dark at bay. A Home is a Feeling in your heart That tells you that You are safe. Safe, where no one Will harm you. Safe, where the demons Don't dare touch you Because they'll burn. A Home is your armor That darker things Can't pierce Because you filled Your Home with Love.

Home is where the heart is,
and my heart lies in ink.

My home is where a single pen
glides across paper,
in quick, precise movements.

My home holds
the smell of old books,
and the soft crinkle
of turning pages.

My home is where I write freely,
no eyes but mine have seen
what I have hidden between
these bound pages.

Home is where I learn who I am,
and decide who I'll become.

Evelyn

I hear so many speak of home.
For me, home isn’t a somewhere.
It’s not a corner, a city, a catacomb.
Home’s a someone. Her black hair.
Her round, green eyes, so intense.
I feel safe with her at my side,
Her tenderness and warmth: immense.
She doesn’t say much; it’s all implied,
But our understanding is down to a science.
Her voice is mournful, yet golden, it glistens.
And when she does decide to break the silence,
The very universe stops and listens.
Her whole existence is a miracle,
Her every movement, so divine.
Okay, alright, fine. I’ve been waxing lyrical
About the world’s very best feline.

Soccer is my home field

I feel at home in the middle of a soccer field. So many years of practice it feels like I've lived here. “The beautiful game” is what Paylè called it, and I couldn't agree more. Voices shouting, running, fighting, and still there is a moment of harmony with my team. A quick one-two, the perfect touch, a hard cross, all leading to a powerful finish. Moments like these are why I love soccer; you're always looking for one of these moments. My teammates are more than just friends. We have worked hard for three years together to get better, not only as individuals, but more importantly, as a team. Every time I practice or push myself to get better, my team is getting better. That's why soccer is such a great game; you have to trust your teammates. If you care about who scores the goal your team has no chance in the higher levels. If I get a secondary assist I have made that goal happen. It doesn't matter how many touches or passes until there is a goal.

Home in the Gym

I feel a gymnastics gym is where I feel most at Home because I can do what I love to do. The things I love to do are flips, front walkovers, back walkovers, and more. I feel safe when I do flips off the beans and land on the mats/a nice big blue and green mats. Whenever I am running into a flip I feel I don’t have to worry about anything. It gives me a sense of calmness and relaxation. I can do anything I want to do when I’m in the gym and trying new gymnastic skills. When I do a flip, I am fearless and I can do anything. I am home!

A home on the court

I feel most confident, most strong, most comfortable, most me on the basketball court. I feel like the basketball court is my home. When I make a mistake in basketball, I feel like I can learn from it and move on. When I make a mistake anywhere else, except for my house, I feel like people will judge me. At basketball I can be different. I don't need to fit in. I can stand out. I can be me, Madison Powers.

Home sweet home

Home is where most at home.
When I get home I feel like I can breathe again.
It's where I can be one hundred percent myself and I can do what.
Home is where I can overthink everything and have panic attacks about homework that I still have to do.
Home is where my family is and where the automatic wifi connection is.
Home is where I can argue with my brother.
Home is where I feel most comfortable.

My Home, Imagine That

Home sweet home. When I was younger I had a bitter-sweet relationship with my home. I probably still do today. I wanted to get out. I wanted to be free of my prison. I wanted have a big family that would play with me. I wanted to stay there forever. I wanted to never see it again. My thoughts towards it changed as often as the weather here in Vermont. I’ve spent so much time here in my house and feel comfortable here. Where else would I go? Where else could I go and feel the same comfort?
