I flew 1400 miles and came face to face with the demons I left behind - still waiting in the shadows; and this place I know so well no longer feels like home. © 12/30/2001 [This message has been edited by Jonas (12-30-2001 10:27 PM).] |

Jonas, I know how hard that must have been to face those demons. I have my own demons that I am scared to face. Dawn |

Sadly we carry our demons with us wherever we go then, fortunately, we decide we don't like them anymore ... but so many miles we have to travel first. |

Oh wow, this must be very difficult--To go to a place you knew as home that no longer feels comfortable! I know that no matter how lost I feel in life I can always come back home & I'm sure you will find a place that you can again feel comfortable--I hope you find your way soon!  ELMO |

Thank you everyone. One interesting fact that came out of this experience....I feel liberated in a way. While it is sad to feel that the place I once called home for so long, no longer feels like home, I also feel a sense of freedom to move on. Does that make sense? |

home is where the heart is if your heart is not there, bricks and mortar will never suffice luvd your poem smacked of dejavu |

The demons draw their power from fear.They are like bullys.They lose their power when you stand up to them.Some times you feel powerless and need help in confronting them. paladin |

I have always found that home is the place where I feel comfortable...or feel like I belong...sometimes it takes a while to accept the changes...James |

Jonas sometimes the place we believe to be home is just a place we grew up, home is really where your heart is. I believe including me, that once you are away from your home for a long time, it's just a memory, that sometimes is filled with good times and you forget there were also bad times. This really is true in what you write nicely done. |

Wonderful writting. I was surprised at how you expressed so much in such a short piece. My compliments to you. I hope you can kill those demons in time. Quod me nutrit me destruit. |

This was shot, sweet and to the point. I imagine feeling this way about the town I live in when I come back after years of being away from it. I have too many demons here and can't get away. Any way, very good write I enjoyed it very much. |
