Farther From Home

Everyday when I awake
I slip further away


memories of yesterday

fade
everything seems

grey


if only I could remember
something positive

it would be ok
but nothing comes
I'm filled with numbness


I escape into

my dreams of tomorrow
leaving my fears behind
and going farther from home
changing me to someone
that's finally alive

    Wow, what can I say. This is stunning... many are unhappy with what they've been given in life and it takes strength and perseverance to make things right for you. Wonderful write.

    Truthfully a shared life experience I too shre with this authors descriptive piece. If its true our reason of existance in life is an on going process of journey in growth,then the author is right on track here. Nicely done! Smooth clear conscise reading.
