this isn't home

This isn’t a home
This is just a place in which
Nothing but strangers live here and
Barely interact
This isn’t a home
This is a place were words of hate
And judgment are spoken
This isn’t a home this is a place
In which no one wants to be
But feel oblige to be in
Because of their “roles”
Mom must take care of the kids,
But she doesn’t love them
Dad must bring home money,
But always unwillingly
Child must be joyful simply because
She is forced to be
Trapped in a screenplay
Constantly acting like something I’m not
Never allowed to step out of this role
This isn’t a home!
