Homesick
In my own room
Homesick in my own skin
Watch me jump when the walls whisper my name.
Everything about this place is mockery.
I wish I could go in and fiddle with their brains, like they've meddled in mine.
Turn a switch.
Turn off the ice cold spark in their eyes.
Poke wholes in my heart, why don't you?
A casual word in the air,
a casual toss of the hair.
And I'm pummeled to the ground,
concrete inbetween my teeth.  
I'm homesick again.
Grabing hold of my stomach,
squeezing it dry of blood, dry of feeling.
This is home.
This is my truth.
Face it with dry eyes,
or face it with reproof.  


" If you never stop when you wave goodbye, you just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again."

Very good write, I think I like the last 2 lines best.
Thanks for sharing.

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
