Homesick

I’ve been shown these 

places called homes, 

but they don't feel the same

as what I used to call my own

Will any of these houses 

make me as impressed? 

If my state of mind is the same, 

will they all feel like the rest? 

there’s a bed to be slept and

a pantry for food to be kept, 

however, I have this feeling that

something is missing to my left, 

perhaps, I'm 

only homesick

Why is it difficult for 

me to move far away?

There is nothing left

for me here anyways,

but why must I be 

compelled to stay?

I know that I have to leave,

there's elsewhere to go

packing my bags today,

I'll create my home again

I'll remember everything

and I won't hold any regret

you've grown from 

the hardships spent,

you've restored from 

the loves that went,

treat yourself as if you

were entering a home,

with dignity and respect
