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. 😔
