Home?

Four walls, two doors, and several Windows. 
This is what defines a “home”
But is it actually a home when the walls are full of screams and broken dreams? 

Is it a home when one parent doesn't always come home?
When you never want to be there? 
If not then why do we still call it home? 

Why not call it a house. 
Because that is what it is. 
It's a house we enter and live in but we never really want to be there. 

So here I go. Up the steps and through the door. 
Into the house, no longer a home.
Greeted with screams and the “I’m disappointed with you” look. 

And yet I still tell people, I'm home.
