My House

Emotions, I am full

Of them like tears

It remains silent in my house,

there is laughter

People bring their attitudes

But I bring my love


It can be a crazy thing, love

People can be filled with hate and tears

It makes me smile, laughter

That’s what makes me full

Thats what its like in my house

People give me attitude


But I don’t give them attitude

I give them love

I give them laughter

I hold back my tears

In my house

Even though I am full


Hate makes me full

Of tears

No love

In the world and no laughter

Full of attitudes

But not in my house


In my house

We have love

We are full

Of laughter

We have occasional attitudes

We have some tears


They are normal, tears

In every house

There are attitudes

Homes are full

Of them, there is love

And there is laughter


My house may have some attitudes

We may have some tears but we are still full

Of love and laughter
