This "home"

They say I will be good here
in this HOME. this place.this building
of shame

They smile and joke with or around me
in this unsafe haven. this dwelling. this menage
of "who to blame"

They get too crazy and obscene altogether
in this lame abode. this domicile. this unruly residence
of complete sadness

They are too comfortable and lazy
in this obsolete lodging. this room and that room.
this habitation
of unnecessary badness

They eat so aimlessly so unsharing in this faulty hovel.
this haunting hole. this soul binding burrow
of my harbored pain

They are not concerned much in this open accomodation.
this sickness of a roof over my head. this torturing casa
of constant restrain


They..as in my fellow people who
say they are my "friend"
in this HOME..my sleeping chambers
to be HERE..is as if i'm
waiting for my dismal end..
I must depart and leave this HOME
this unreal shell of ones
push to condescend

I must Break away from
this HOME..this casting of hate
I must...
I must...before its too late.

The raw emotions are very well displayed within the imagery that flows in lines of this read. One can sense the despair and the need to break free from it all... Very deep writing Michelle, I hope that you find the peace you seek. Thank you for sharing the read. God's Love and Many Blessings, Always, Adell
