Home isn’t a place

By Alia Hirji, Year 11

Home is such a vast feeling,

It’s where you feel yourself healing,

The warmth of a person’s feel,

A nostalgic favourite meal,

Reading your comfort book to escape,

Biting into a perfectly crunchy grape,

The feeling of home is such an important feel,

Laughing with your best friend till you squeal,

Running into an open green field,

Watching raindrops race over the windshield,

Hugging someone so tightly your bodies click,

Putting on an old meaningful lipstick,

I believe home and love have a strong link,

I love the feeling of home, they interlink,

Home is such a vast feeling,

It’s where I feel myself healing
