Home not so sweet home

Not the best childhood, not the best father and not the best home.

Home wasn’t actually my home,

I just wanted to it overcome,

The fighting, the arguing, the hatred

Please, stop it was supposed to be sacred

Home is comfort, family, protection

Mine is only rejection

Welcome to home not so sweet home

My life is in a dome,

Full of unwanted feelings

The anger, the fear, the dealings

I will give you money but don’t ask for love

Is that the father that we desire and not sick of?

He left, the lies, the mistakes, the cheating, it all stayed

Well, I guess I had to give more in this trade,

You didn’t love, but I did

You gave me money, but I offered you way more than what you bid

My childhood was taken from me

The life I wanted you took and it was never free

Now, you are full of remorse

After 15 years, you ask for forgiveness and I just want to disperse

You lost me when I was 6 when you left

Don’t try to buy your way in again,

I gave you my best

I guess it wasn’t enough

But, I healed and just had to be tough

Welcome to home not so sweet home

Where I suffered in the hands of true emotions

But, survived and overcame my past

Finally, I forgave at last

Home not so sweet home,

It’s time to be sweet in Rome

May we meet again Father

Your choices have not bothered

Not anymore, not in this lifetime

It’s time to begin again,

And now, I just hope it survives

Welcome to home sweet home,

May we crack the dome?
