Home sick

by Yours Truly xO   Aug 26, 2010


I stand there, alone and stare
Nothing but smiling faces, everywhere
I smile, back but that doesn't mean I'm happy
I've disguised my feelings, deep down I'm lonely
All I see is happy, not an ounce of sad
Jealousy fills my body,
Because those are feelings I once had.
My mind travels back to memories, not that long ago
When I had arms to hold me, and a place to call home
I had friends to hang out with and just laugh and talk all day,
And I had those moments that took my breath away.
I know everybody misses me,
They tell me every day.
Even though my hometown and I are a million miles apart,
I'll always hold, Fort Walton Beach, fl, forever in my heart.

    Not a topic I comment on alot but I have also felt the hollowness of being apart from family and friends, it takes its toll but seems to bring out inspired writing. your poem is wonderful and has reached another lost soul in me. Hope you get home soon. All best, keep up the good writing.
