home?

Is it bricks or the feeling inside?

Is it hugs or the silence we hide?

Is it roots or the road i chose?

Is it comfort, or just a pose?

Mama’s couch, old tv glow

Food on the stove but my chest stay cold

Laughin’ loud with my fam on the line

But i mute the mic when i start to cry

I moved away just to feel grown

Built my life but i feel alone

They say “you made it,” i nod and smile

But this crib feel empty after a while

They say “home is where the heart stay put,”

But my heart been runnin’ with no route booked

Tried to plant it in lovers, cities, views

But it always wilts, no matter the room

Maybe home ain’t real

Maybe home is hope

Maybe home’s the place

We never get close

Home?
