Home is not just a place.
It’s a presence.
It’s where you feel safe, understood, and at peace—
where you can exist as yourself without fear, without judgment.
Home is where you go after a hard day,
when the world has taken too much from you
and all you want is to breathe.
But sometimes I ask myself—
will I ever have a home to come back to?
I ask that question on my hardest days.
I never had a home waiting for me after a hard day.
So now I wonder:
will I ever find one after a hard life?
Will there ever be a person,
or a place,
that chooses to be my home—
to hold me, understand me, protect me?
Or am I destined to wander,
carrying my heart in my hands,
homeless—for the rest of my life?
