Description
We were given a challenge to come up with an out-of-the-box description or passage about a few objects. I chose 'a home' as I am in a dark alternative mood.....
I'm too sad for hugs today....
*********************
A struggle.
Every day turmoil
That endless spiral
Of being in prison.
Ordinary life
of living
shut up
in a home.
I need to change
to move
I need something
Always work
to be done.
Always fighting
None of the fun
Same bed
same sink
same
eveything.
Boring.
Hatred
rips through me
I need to change
to move
I need something
Something else
different
than this home.
I want love
I want laughter.
I need life.
I get back to the house
The same paintwork
Glares at me
Hurts my eyes.
Curtains hang limply
Bored with the same scenery
every minute.
Routine steps are taken
From bed to bath
kitchen to front door
Key is worn from daily use
Gate is chipped and neglected
I need to change
to move
I need something.
Get me out of this furrow
I have dug
My home is no longer
my own space
It belongs to dreams
that have gone,
Balls of dust
Creepy cobwebs
I need to change
to move
I need something
I need a new home.

Powerful words! Indeed sometime a new surrounding is the best medicine. I say it is always better to run to something new, than stay in something exhausted! This way the good memories don't fade!

Superbly written piece, SusiQ! My late father always said, "Home is where ya' hang your hat". Between him being in the Army (Two tours) and us always moving to find jobs to feed '9' kids, we found that to be true. AND comforting. (I just wrote a piece ya' might want to read? WINK). My best, kind lady. PEACE to you and yours. T.P./brian.

I can see that feeling. Dreams of doing your house up into a home but then the money runs away with the dreams and all your left with it the shell of a home...a house.
