Home Is On the Inside

Home is where love is loud without a word. Where silent understanding can still be heard. Where, when your confused, you know you'll be understood. Where loved ones would take your pain if they could. Where the people laugh with you, and never at you. Where you are still loved even when they don't like what you do. Where the ones who care are never too far. Where you finally realize who you are. Where you find a strong shoulder and a tender ear. Where you can be vulnerable without any fear. Where you can be yourself and never have to pretend. Where you are comfortable in your own skin. Where your sadness is divided, and your happiness is multiplied. Where there is always someone on your side. Where you learned how to share, love, and give. Home is where your heart and soul will always live.
