• what is a home? •

A place in which I cannot speak,
nor voice a piece of my mind -
is that home?

A place where I'm consistently reminded
that I am nothing, that I'm worthless -
is that home?

A place where I fear to return to -
is that home?

A place where hands tightly grasp around my
throat, and slowly set it shut -
is that home?

A place where the fists of the man who at home should teach, teaches only anger and violence -
is that home?

No, a home it is not,
a home it should not be,
but for I, a home it is -
a home for me.
