Dec 2020
This house that I hate
I hate my house
Every corner every corridor
I hate the doorknobs, hate the windows
Despise the bump on the kitchen floor
Every drip of the bathroom tap is agony
The backyard and every tree
I can't stand the way it screeches
Against the lightest breeze
I hate the chairs, I hate the tables
Light bulbs, curtains, endless stains
Sockets stuffed with cables
Set fire to my brain
I hate the way my house stares at me
I wish it would just stop
The wallpaper I have memorised
Is now my life's' backdrop
The doors slam against my hands
The shower burns my feet
My heavy mind with all its' might
Runs up and down my street
My heart is fixed by every string
I'm sewn into the thick carpet
I'm baked onto the plates
I will never ever leave, this house that I hate
This poem is about hating the places where you are supposed to feel safe.
