Something Missing

I sigh,
wondering what is ahead,
thinking that
"Anywhere But Here"
is a suitable destination

yes, this place is my home,
but also here are the sights and sounds
I loathe,
things that can hurt me most,
where vulnerability clearly shows,
where criticism burns the most

glistening tears linger
on my cheeks,
summoned not from sadness,
but from not knowing,
summoned from smiles
and maintained by passion

I am content,
but it is certain
there are some things
missing

So how was it?

    This reminded me of the song Anywhere But Here by Rise Against.

    Great poem. Filled with emotion. I enjoyed this.
