I'm home again
This familiar place
Family and friends
A familiar face
Hours we drove
My heart beat fast
And now I'm home
I'm here at last
But I don't think
They understand
How hard it was
To leave my land
The peace and still
I miss it dear
There's something different
Something here
It's just the same
As when I left
My family's here
But I'm bareft
My soul does weigh
My heavy chest
At least behind
I found my rest
My head it pounds
My heart beats slow
This place I've found
It makes me low
I hide my face
So they can't see
What this place
Has done to me
I moved back to Michigan. I'm glad to be with my family, but I feel overwhelmed and weighed down. I'm tired and stressed, and all I want to do is go back to the sweet, familiar place that carried me through the last year. 😔

Love is not the cure for loneliness
Or depression
Love  is the ill-working
Flow of a broken heart
And damaged soul
Only one can heal me
I just can't hear His voice right now.

Haven't felt like this in awhile
The anger
The sadness
The need for red
Running
Down
And
Down
For anything
But this
But I was okay
I was fine
The relief I took for granted
But it always comes back
I just wanted to be sane for a
Little
While
Longer
I moved back home, and all the things I felt before- the suffocation, but loneliness; the anger, but brokenness; the sadness, but fear...it's all back. It always returns. I just thought that maybe this once, I would lose it forever, I hoped it wouldn't come back. But it always does. And I understand now why people hurt themselves, because I would do anything to distract myself from the pain of my existence.

I can go minutes
Hours
Even days
Without missing you
But then
I'm laughing
In the rain
At night
And all I can think of
Is how much
I wish you were here with me

I ruin things
And people
I always have
It's my fault
I came
And you loved me
And I loved you back
I still do
But now
Now I have to leave
And I'm so so sorry

Though winds may blow
And seas could rage
Our Lord and Father
Stays the same

I went in search of
Something
A daydream
Wrapped in a mystery
Surrounded by if's and maybe's
But I found instead
A revelation
Perhaps it found me
A reminder of
A life that I have not yet lived
A life I still want to
