POEM STARTER
Submitted by HardCoreWriter
Write a poem comparing a house and a home.
Ain’t My Home
They say home
Is where
The heart is,
So I guess
_This house_
_Ain’t my home._
Yeah,
It may be a house,
A safe place for living,
But it surely ain’t
A place for loving.
_This house_
_Ain’t my home._
This house has
Walls built up,
And when I’m in it,
So do I.
_This house_
_Ain’t my home._
It’s got a roof
To keep rain
Out…
But it sure as hell can’t
Keep pain
Out.
_This house_
_Ain’t my home._
The people inside are
“_Nice_”,
But I know
It’s all just an act…
My heart never lies
With them,
No trust,
No love.
_This house_
_Ain’t my home._
In this house
I found refuge,
In this house
I found safety,
In this house
I found no home.
_This house_
_Ain’t my home._
