     City Girl In a Prairie House

It's still there
  but without a city girl
That old tin roof house I hated
Sitting on the prairie
In the same old spot, I left it.

I never miss that old house
I depised it so
Everytime I returned home to it
I wished it had burnt down.

Now I'm just glad
I don't live there
And I pity those who do
For I know the lonliness
Of the city girls that do.

I understand the bleakness you speak of; but I am a prairie girl, transplanted to the city, who longed for the prairie ever since, and finally was able to move to the mountains, with great joy.  (I never planted any roots in the city life.)

I have always missed the country, but for me it holds to many painful memeories.  I guess I would rather deal with the memeories than to continue living in the city feeling lonely.  I enjoyed what you wrote and I liked how it left me wondering.
