this house

Written For People (Both Love and Hate)

this house is not a home

as long as he lives here

i awaken to disgust

"what this time?" i fear



this house is not a castle

when all inside are slaves

when everything's uneven

can sanity be saved?



this house is not a refuge

like i so wish it could be

a beautiful exterior,

but come inside and see.



this house is nothing to me

but a place to rest my head

and even that small act alone

can fill my heart with dread



this house is a lost cause

thought it's intentions once were pure

it all ends here, i say no more

i stand tall firm and sure



my next home will be paradise

just me and my family

with no one else to intrude my life

the way things ought to be

"Misery demands company... HAVE NONE OF IT!" - Leo Buscaglia

Never let yourself get into a situation you don't feel right with. If your heart tels you it's wrong, then it must be. Never sacrifice your happiness for anyone, no matter how guilty you may feel. YOu will only end up hurting yourself. (Sorry about the cheesy writing style, just had to get it off my chest.... and this was the quickest way to do it!)
