home

assignment

Home.

It may be that of  a structure

or it may be that of a person,

or may be that of a thing.

Home is where  my head lays at night

wrapped in the warmth of an over-sized blanket,

that engulfs me like my midnight thoughts.

Home is the sight of a comforting hand  

reaching out at my every step to catch me if I slip

on the fault of my adolescent failures

that barricades me to know the other side of paradise.

home is so much more than a warm bed and a comfy couch.

It's love,

security

and connection.

Home isn't a place as much as it is a feeling.
