You my home

Every day their hands are touching

Every day their words are licking

Every day my mouth is grinding

Every day another battle coming

Every day the fire a bomb ticking

And I find you my home

Here are their words between my wheels

Here are their words between my layers of fat

Here are their words I managed to crush with my heels

Here are their words that left my bruises

Here are their words stuck between my feels

And I find you my home

So drink to them not believing me

So drink to the Woman they are patronizing

Drink to the bodies they keep finding

In the closet where they keep us hiding

Drink to the honesty of their lying

And still I find you my home

The cuts that they are reopening

The blood that just keeps flowing

The daily barrage of bad new on the internet

And images of wounded animals

Just like me but maybe not like me

And I smile to find you my home

And when I cry you give me home

And when I scream you give me home

And when they hurt me you protect our home

So when I tried you give me home

Not smile when asked to you give me home

You my home, you my home, you my home

Tired. Arms. Home.

Love. Cats. Home.

Sounds. You. Home.

You my home

You my home

You my home
