Homesick


from the ABC set Poems

Moved Away, thought things would be better.
So far away, but good is not forever.
Every face I've never seen,
every place I've never been.
I wish to return to where I was.
No, it's not perfect, but better because at least I have somewhere to go.
Someone I trust,
someone I know. I'm all alone in this foreign land.
How could I know, this is not what I planned.
Will they be waiting when if return home? Or will I forever be alone? Every time I think I should give this a try, someone says something to make me think why, why did I ever agree to this life?
I want out so bad, I'd consider the knife. Oh, how I miss those bright summer days. So many days gone by, and everything is still Grey. I often wonder if I did come home, would you be waiting, or am I alone?
