Home Isn'T For Me

Home isn't for me I try my best to respect my parents but they don't treat me right My pops always yelling at me and quick to hit me When I speak my mind My mom always cussing me out telling me to get my lazy ass up and get a job But times are hard and it ain't easy to get a job Home isn't for me because we’re never peaceful My parents always arguing about money when they know every week they're short Sometimes I wish that my home was more peaceful A place where I can lay down in peace without nobody in the house fighting 23When I go over my friends’ houses I always get jealous Because they and their parents always get along they never embarrass them when they have company They always encourage them to do better if they screw up it’s like them and their parents connect all the time Sometimes I wish that my parents was like that always let me speak my mind and tell them how I feel I know it’s kind of sad but I hate coming home after school or when I’m leaving my friend's house Because my home isn't peaceful it’s like I'm fighting demons everyday Home isn't for me that’s why a lot of kids run away from home especially the black ones Our parents don't know what we go through at school, work or out there in the real world When we come home from our problems we aspect loving and caring parents that has a happy home If it’s like that maybe we all can get along and understand each other some more If there’s no love at home what makes you think I want to be at home looking at how miserable ya are 24 I pray to God every night hoping and believing that he turns my place into a happy home

Poignant write Tadon! It's unfortunate that most kids can relate to what you've penned, but the good thing is there is a limit of how long one has to live at home. With independence comes freedom. Well written poem!
