HOME.

Home to me is the 5seconds I'm within my mother's arms Home is the 5seconds my little cousin giggles and give me jiggles Home is the 5seconds my sisters argue over the movie character Home is that 5 seconds where the shower really cools my head Home is where the sitting room couch is better than the bed Home is where you drink water with a cup Home is that 5seconds I make harmonies with my siblings Home is the unsolicited laughter of genuineness Home is the that last 5 seconds I see mama's face before going to school Home is wherever I have that sweet 5seconds sleep of peace Home is that 5seconds in my father's house raising him high Home is that beating,that slap, that injury, those bitter tears and 5seconds later running back to the beater's arms Home is that place where you can sometimes hear very audibly the tick of every tock Home is where I get free food and not appreciate it Home is where I isolate myself until I am ready to be exposed again Home is the expression on my face when I'm about to shut you down. Home is where the gloom, the bloom and the thickest darkness reside Home is where I'm alive again, Home is where you find me
