What is a Home?

What is a Home?

A Poem by RileyD

What is a home?
A shelter? A place of comfort?
A place of love?
Try a battlefield.
You constantly get shot at. 
You always get hurt.
You've won the most medals?
Bah! Your enemies don't care.
Your brothers hardly care.
You can be congratulated on a job well done,
But soon, soon you have done something horrible.
You are a worthless piece of s**t. 
A b*****d.



What is a home?
Home is where the heart is?
Ha! Tell that to the girl online.
The one that is trying to indirectly tell you something is horribly wrong.
You call her an attention w***e.
She needs someone to talk to, but are you there?
No! 
Never!
Of course not!
You come in with your selfish anger towards some stupid thing.
You don't try to help her.
You call yourself Christian!



Now do I have your attention?
When I am on my deathbed?
You say you never knew!
I told you!
All the facts and signals were in your face!
You are here now,
But where were you when I needed you? 
Oh, yes, I know:
You were taking part in your own pleasures. 
You say you care?
When did you start?
When it was too late!



What is a home?
A home is not all its cracked up to be.
It is a place of pain
Where it should be of kindness.
It is a place of depression
And the inability to escape.
What is a home?
