The House 
The box, the door, it begged me to enter.  
What lies beyond the door is my bad past, 
I open the door, see and remember. 
Waking in slow, I feel like an outcast. 

The stairs I sat on, waiting for presents, 
The kitchen where holiday meals were made. 
I'm frozen thinking about those events, 
This is where it happened, I wish I stayed. 

I was scared seeing my house would hurt me, 
This is where my family had fell apart. 
 Standing where my mom was finally free; 
As I'm in this house I feel my heartbeat.  

Seeing this house is impossibly hard, 
The last thing I ever see is the yard!

How to fix sentence fragments

By -
A sentence fragment is an  incomplete sentence . Some fragments are incomplete because they lack either a subject or a verb, or both. The fragments that most students have trouble with, however, are  dependent clauses —they have a subject and a verb, so they look like complete sentences, but they don’t express a complete thought. They’re called “dependent” because they can’t stand on their own (just like some people you might know who are SO dependent!). Look at these dependent clauses. They’re just begging for more information to make the thoughts complete: Because his car was in the shop (…What did he do?) After the rain stops (…What then?) When you finally take the test (…What will happen?) Since you asked (…Will you get the answer?) If you want to go with me (…What should you do?) Does each of these examples have a subject? Yes. Does each have a verb? Yes. So what makes the thought incomplete? It’s the first word ( Because, After, When, Since, If ). These words belong
