stranger in my own home

I’ve lived here for
For so many years

But now I feel
Uneasy every time
I walk through that
Door

I don’t like I’m
Safe here anymore

I feel like a
Stranger more and
More

Why can’t I
Just shut the door

I don’t want your
Cold hard stare

Cause it’s not like
Before

Now more then ever
I feel like a stranger
In my own home

I like it, although the first verse needs work. Other than that, great.

I would have to agree with chloe. But other than that you did an excellent job. I have never heard anything like this before.....

This is a great poem, and I think its a feeling that most teenagers get now. There is so much going on from death to divorce, to parents kicking a child out once they turn 18. When I read this poem it makes me think of divorce because you've lived there in your home and then a parent brings someone else into the home and then everything is changed for life. The kids feel like its not home anymore becasue of this extra person in thier house and in their life. Im going to be moving out and I was thinking about how weird it is, knowing that i'll be gone and not there anymore unless i visist. Great Poem.
