My Return Home! ! ! Poem by Compton Wright

As the mental war with my demons is finally over
I start seeking for some peace in his mindset of life
As everyone seems to be gunning for his position
Walking up the porch and sat down on the steps
Watching how memories start to tap his shoulders
From the ex lover next door who became his curse soon
All the way from running from home to find easement
From the streets influences and trills but only to feel chills

Touching the doorknob I can still see my father being angry
Trying to pick a fight with my little brother as like a soldier
I step in, stood tall upon his eyesight with the look of a killer
Told him “if you lay one finger on him you’ll lose a hand right now”
These old thin walls will never keep our secrets inside this home

As the clash of the titans collided as my brother and I fought one vs. one
As the casualties were minor physically but severe emotionally…
As we became the worse of enemies and even despise one another
Yelling and screaming would crack the painting on the bedroom walls
But God was on our side when we grown out of our hatred and became
The bests of brothers becoming his support and his only best brother he got

Going down the basement I dropped down on my knees and prayed
As my grandfather died fighting for his life but the grim reaper
Damn him! As he finally got his bounty on his most wanted list
Crying in tears we all were the only true man inside this house
A man with strength, courage, and wisdom as we were mere students
My mother’s support and my real father to my brother’s heart and soul
He taught me how to be my own man when no one else ever tried

Finally seeing my old bedroom as where it all started as Compton Wright
What I listen, what I thought and what I learned…wow such good times
This place where I bled out hate upon myself as my knuckles bleed on the walls
But let out love as well to others as well while my Ex sneak inside the window
As we made love from the night to the daybreak of the bright morning of June
My room full of demons and my gift of blessings at the same time….
I walk out of this house with tears in my eyes of my struggle here
Only hearing it whispering and echoing in my ear saying….Please Return
