Theres No Place Like Home

They say that there’s no place like home,

where you can rest in some humble abode

they say “blood runs thicker then water”,

“always respect and love those who share the same lineage as you.”

 

But as I feel his hand prints stick to my body, I wonder

does that really have to be true?

 

I’ve found danger in my living room more than any alleyway

 

I’ve had eyes fixated on me like I was prey, and he told me that “it’ll be quick”

and “I’ll be better this way”

 

He didn’t mean it, “He’s your brother so forgive and forget!” they say

 

How is my home supposed to feel like home, when the next time I’ll be his idea of a quick “joyride” could be today?

 

One day I won’t have to live with a wolf, while everyone else pretends to be

clueless and aloof

 

Because my cries and screams weren’t “enough proof”.
