It was never a home
More of a hell hole
Love and hate combined
It was a house
Held together with bricks and mortar
Love was forgot
Replaced by bruises
Wayward outlandish excuses
Lies and dishonesty riddled their lives
It was a place love forgot
Taught not talk bad of the secrets within
It was never a home
Just a shelter and a place to sleep
Held together with bricks and mortar
In their beds they silently would weep
While mum and dad drank the poisionois drinks
Love never lived
Only hate survived
It was a place love forgot
'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''

I like how you used repetition. Thanks for sharing.
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

I love the repetition in this throughout the poem, it made it really powerful and I think reinforced the atmosphere that this piece of writing had within it. Keep writing! I've seen a few of your poems here and they're always very good.

I agree with liking the repetition, as well as the emotion!
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
