Home is where the heart is

At least, that’s what everyone says

That home is where you belong

Full of family and friends

But what if I’m different

What if I have a new perspective

Something that they don’t understand

I’m a typical introvert

Neurodivergent too

I’m not the same

There is no us

Just me and you

I prefer to be alone

Seeking solace with my thoughts

I have one good friend

My family likes to talk

But I would rather be alone

I prefer to not converse

If I want to express myself

I come here to write a verse

So my home is different

Then what everyone else believes

My home will often move

To where I express myself

Without people staring in judgement

Or saying I am wrong

To me my home

Is where I feel accepted

And I feel like I belong

Although I hate to socialize

There is one place with people

A place that I love to go

Everyone here is unique

We accept each other’s flaws

Everyone has their own opinions

And we respect each other’s decisions

This place I love so much

Is my safe haven from the world

Where everyone is quick to judge

But here, everyone is loved

So whenever someone asks

Where my home is

I always remind myself

That they are asking where I live

For if I was completely honest

I would say it is my studio and dance

Where I can express myself

In my own unique way

In a secret language

That very few can read

I’m not just moving my body to music

I’m giving you my hopes

My thoughts

My dreams

It’s a glimpse inside my heart

A view that very few have glimpsed

But if home is where the heart is

Then mine is where my heart is seen
