What is a home

if not the first place you learn to run from?

You’ve got to bite the hand

that starves you, and in doing so

Praise the place that birthed you.

Birthed you fucked up.

Birthed you ugly, and interesting,

and ready to scream.

"What is a home if not the first place you learn to run from?"

Clementine von Radics, Courtney Love Prays to Oregon

THIS IS THE HOUSE THAT BUILT ME

AND I'M GONNA BURN IT DOWN

THIS IS THE RIVER I CRAWLED FROM

AND I REFUSE TO DROWN HERE

AND BLESS THE STRIPPERS

AND FUCK THE MEN

AND BLESS THE BERRIES

AND FUCK THE FARM

AND BLESS THE DAUGHTER

BUT FUCK THE FAMILY

WHAT IS HOME

IF NOT THE PLACE YOU LEARN TO RUN FROM?

YOU'VE GOT TO BITE THE HAND

THAT STARVES YOU, IN DOING SO

PRAISE THE PLACE THAT BIRTHED YOU

BIRTHED YOU FUCKED UP

BIRTHED YOU UGLY AND INTERESTING

AND READY TO SCREAM
