From a Home, to a House by Gunneet Kaur Bhamra

From a Home, to a HouseGunneet Kaur BhamraFrom the place, where comfort was found,And people meant happiness and laughter.From the lazy and cozy mornings,And chattering and cheery evenings.From those late-night family games and gossips,Because “tomorrow's a holiday... what a bliss!”To the place where comfort is only sought,Where people mean suffocation.To busy and chilly dawns,And gloomy and exhausting dusks.To these late-night family dramas and decisions,Because “tomorrow's a holiday… what the hell?”Yeah, I wanted to grow, and so I have!But I didn't want to travel,from a carefree, loud childhood,To a responsible, silent adolescence;from a home, to a house!Take me back to the delightful hours in the sunlit veranda.Take me back to the chaos of the crowded kitchen.Take me back, for once - just once - to my home...More from Gunneet Kaur Bhamra ↓@wordsmith._.witxh on InstagramShe's founder of a creative club for teenage writers, called The Pioneering Pens.
