Home...
Home is where you can hum
a melody outside your head,
where you sneer at veneers,
and your dreams roam free,
so, at last, you may become
all you were supposed to be...

Thank you so much, John, your encouragement means a lot! 😎
I don't especially like 'sneering at veneers'. I think the first two lines are the meat here and the rest could have been anything.
I'd have had an acknowledgement of dysfunctional homes, Probably 'cos I'm a miserable git. Hey, but then they could find a new improved 'home' and it's all positive again, hoorah!
See ya, got a poem to write!
I totally agree with your sentiments which you express expertly, as ever. 😎

Thank you so much, Frederick, Flyntland, and Keith, I'm truly grateful for your kind comments! 😊
Self discovery and the full expression of it is indeed a liberating experience. Home is the ground from where these attributes can flourish.
Thanks for this
Keith
I agree with Frederick, I too like "sneering at veneers" and also "you become all that you are supposed to be"
Now that 'sneering at veneers' right there, that's a choice cuppa tea! Thanks Holden!

I, like you I guess, intensely dislike (though sometimes admire) the use of sarcasm, satire, irony, sneering. All these negative forms of rhetoric are like wasps, designed to annoy and sting.
“What are others worth that they have the nerve to sneer at any human being?”
