I can feel it
within my bones.
Deep down in the
core of my soul.


Confusion





Anger





Sadness.

What am I doing here?

back in my hometown;
Perhaps,
I belonged here
at one point.
But that was long ago.

I feel all those I once loved



drifting further






and further



away from me.

Becoming strangers-
living in my memories.

No more communication,

No more family outings,

Only silence


distance.


I can feel the loneliness
Seeping through my pores

The longer I stay
the harder it is


To breathe;
The more trapped
I become.
