This poem was written during the Power Writing session. The program is highlighted in the film To Be Heard. In that film, three teenagers from the South Bronx bond together over poems and the process of writing. Their poems explore their lives, dreams, and the challenges their face. The film inspired me to write a poem, entitled Home, about where I live. Enjoy.
Loved by two parents
Live with three other kids
But no grandparents..
I don't call this home
But it's the closest thing to it
I try to make it alright
But some how there's nothing to it.
Home is being welcomed
sometimes I don't feel welcomed at all.
Home is being happy
but no one is happy at all.
All I hear is yelling, and I'm
tired of the fuse and fight.
Home is being loved with all their might..
