Those who don't accept you
Just faces in the crowd
The only ones who matter
Already, you've made proud

Love this stanza Jenn .... such truth !

Excellent read my friend

Knowing there's a haven
To which you can return
Open hearts left waiting there
To soothe what comes to burn

Home should always like that , a safe place to return to. I love this stanza, so reassuring and sincere. Your rhymes are perfect and flow smoothly. Excellent job Jenn.
