Home is a place you surrender to
to feel safe

The feeling I get..
Terror, doubt, pain
Uncertain of what's next

My home is no longer called home
It contains a dark figure
Hiding in a corner, ready to jump you

It's time to move on
Find a new place of serenity

A place of calmness and love
Little background of my life
I grew up with a mom and a dad, and two other siblings. It was a perfect family, I believed for 16 years. I always thought so highly of it all. I thought I was the luckiest child until last year. My dad's sanity has left and he cheated on my mom 11 times and forced her to be with him. I haven't spoken a word to him since. They are finally separating. My dad can't accept it and is going through all of these crazy emotions. He screams at my mom and doesn't care if me or my little brother are in the room as well, then the next minute he tries to kiss her. He is very violent in the household and my sister moved out because she was too sensitive and needed a place of serenity. I couldn't escape along with her. He has gone insane and it's unfortunate. He passes me and I feel a dark aura over me. It is unpredictable of what he will do next, he has gotten arrested for domestic violence. My family has fallen apart but the only thing I truly want at this moment is to finally move on, move out into a smaller home with my mom and little brother and finally have the feeling of serenity once again.
