I want to go home

‘I want to go home’ may be said by a suicidal or depressed person meaning that nowhere they are feels like home because of how unfamiliar or hard they may think life is. Home is a place which is familiar and comforting to yourself and so a person may be using this phrase because to them home just becomes an idea and place that they can't reach. Meaning that when someone wishes to go home, they are just wishing not to exist or to die (kill themselves ).
I can’t do this anymore, I want to go home’ said Olivia. She wanted nothing more than to go home, to cease to exist.

Chickens come home to roost

This expression is similar to "what goes around, comes around" and basically means that the consequences of one's evil actions catch up in a negative way. The idea that a wrongful curse comes back to the one who curses as a "bird returns to its nest" dates back to the days of antiquity. However, it wasn't until the 19th Century that Robert Southey wrote that "curses are like a young chicken: they always come home to roost." Since then, the idea of evil men creating returns to their own door has been encapsulated in this expression.
