Home

Love, Hate;

A cry of joy, a tear of pain;

Overwhelming happiness, suicidal sadness.

A house, a home;

A daddy leaves, a mother mourns;

children comfused but accepting.

A house empty of structure, unstable, exhausting, frightening;

The girl threatens to break at any moment.

A home of love and devotion despite the pain that's always at the back of her mind;

She has her mother, father, and sister despite the distant and separation.

A house, a home;

Constantly moving, but always loving;

Dysfunctional but still beautiful.

A house is not a home;

Home is wherever one's family is comforting, providing, and loving them.
