Home
I am a home, for most
I am a place where people come
to clear their mind of wickedness.
I am a comfort
that you can't get anywhere else
whether my words are read,
or pictures simply glanced at
I have been picked up by many seeking souls,
seeking for serenity
I have been smothered in dust
for years at a time
and yet, I never lose hope
hope that one day,
someone else will pick me up,
caressing my slowly breaking spine,
and will truly find
a home in me.
