The home she never had—
the one she always dreamt of.
A picture-perfect, loving family,
with a supportive dad,
a gentle, caring mom,
and an older sibling who protected her.
A home without fights,
without slammed doors,
without the quiet sobs
behind bathroom walls,
or the midnight tears
that no one saw—
because if they did,
they’d only judge.
A home where she didn’t have to hide,
where she could speak without fear,
where anxiety didn’t live in her chest
like a shadow that never left.
A place where she didn’t need to write
just to feel heard—
because someone, finally, listened.
Where love wasn’t something
she searched for in strangers’ arms,
because she had felt it
right there, at home.
She built that home in dreams each night—
because it never stood where she lived.

The home she never had—
the one she always dreamt of.
A picture-perfect, loving family,
with a supportive dad,
a gentle, caring mom,
and an older sibling who protected her.
A home without fights,
without slammed doors,
without the quiet sobs
behind bathroom walls,
or the midnight tears
that no one saw—
because if they did,
they’d only judge.
A home where she didn’t have to hide,
where she could speak without fear,
where anxiety didn’t live in her chest
like a shadow that never left.
A place where she didn’t need to write
just to feel heard—
because someone, finally, listened.
Where love wasn’t something
she searched for in strangers’ arms,
because she had felt it
right there, at home.
She built that home in dreams each night—
because it never stood where she lived.
