My Home

by Lauren   Nov 30, 2004


You'll never know what my homes like,
you may think everything is great,
simply because you cannot see,
their faces wretched in hate.

You don't wake up every day,
and search through all the rooms,
making sure no ones dead,
murdered by the fumes.

The things that go on under this roof,
no one will ever see,
the things that go on under this roof,
will only affect me.

I used to think it was normal,
just natural family fights,
and when my mom would get beat, there was no escape in sight.

A face can hide many truths,
with a bright and sunny smile,
the things that really go on at home,
killing them inside all the while.

So next time you see a fake smile,
a quick glance at the phone,
remember that you'll never know,
just what goes on at home.
(*My 2nd poem..any comments are greatly appreciated!)
