Home is where the pain is.

by ASPHYXIATED   Jun 4, 2006


A war zone,
Run for cover; hide,
Can't leave the house,
Not safe to stay inside.
Once a peaceful atmosphere,
Rotted into nothing more,
Than a place to critique,
A place to start a shouting war.

Home is where the heart is,
Is written upon the wall,
The place I said my first words,
The floor on which I did first crawl.
Home is where the pain is,
They made a slight correction,
Home is where the pain is,
Sorrow, Grief and neglect ion.

    "A war zone,
    Run for cover; hide,
    Can't leave the house,
    Not safe to stay inside."
    ^^^
    [Between you and me, my dad's a bit abusive. And seriously, though it doesn't speak strongly (there's no emotion at all to me), it still hit home a bit. Because it's so true.
    I hate going home because my dad's always yelling about something. I'm always hiding in my room or behind the computer screen. So, yeah, it hit home a bit.]

    "Home is where the heart is,
    Is written upon the wall,"
    ^^^
    [First you used "is" twice in a row.
    But,
    I'd use "it's" instead on the second line. Just a suggestion, but it flows better to me.]

    I'm sorry this is so short. Normally, I say something about almost every line. But honestly, I really didn't feel the poem. I didn't get any emotion out of it, there wasn't any discripition..
    The flow was pretty strong, except for in one place.
    I like the idea to this, but none of the poem was strong to me.
    Sorry, just being honest.

    I thought it was amazing.
    I really did.
    It's similar to when I lived with my mum...
    Never wanted to be home...
    I loved it because I could relate..
    5/5
    Lovce you. xx

    Your poem was amazing. I think this is my favourite one so far. This stanza was so strong and ended the poem amazingly.
