My Homesickness is real.

It is silent

And surreal.

Sometimes even violent.


There it follows behind,

Scaring away my light.

Very difficult to find.

I don’t know if I can fight


Though when I am home,

I am always comfortable.

I am not alone.

Rather, delectable.


I was homesick in July,

Now I am better; I cannot lie.

The author's comments:

I wrote this piece in a way of explaining my homesickness when I go back to my hometown.  I had a bad past in that town and would rather stay here in my new and improved life at my new and imporved home.  Therefore I get physically sick in results of wanting my new home so bad.
