Home and me
Partha Debnath 1987 (Chakdaha)
This is the home I was punished in,
the home everywhere I carry with me.
This is the home I am cherished in,
the home that every day carries me.
I was punished with joy, in the light,
I was cherished with fear, at night.
This is the home which I am made off,
And the home which is made of me.
This is the home, where I stay with you,
This is the home, where you stay in me.
Where smile withers, tears oozes,
Spirits decay and wishes become frenzy.
This is the home, within overgrown,
Will be taken away from me!
