Chasing Home

 

Anger disillusioned her senses as she marched around

With pride that wasn't fitting, but she had it anyways

 

Try as she might, the world came crumbling down all

Around her, yet she faced it as if it were nothing, until....

 

Until the day she started chasing home and couldn't

Find it anywhere, but in a digital world, happiness...

 

But could she really and truly be happy with a digital face

That would never be seen for the beauty she was and...

 

Try as she might, all the wishes upon a beaming star could

Do nothing for this girl, who couldn't find herself in this world..

 

Yet hope and determination kept her going, and although her

Darkness was consuming, she wouldn't let the light be gone

 

But the fact remained she was chasing home, and the sad part

Of this all was that she was home all along, but she couldn't see

 

See past that agony that was called her life, and she kept on looking

For that place she kept on chasing, she just wanted a something..

 

Something to call her own, where she could be safe away from the

Harm and where her children could roam freely without that fear...

 

So she kept on chasing home, and wouldn't settle til she found it, yet

She has it, right here, it's being offered to her, yet she can't even see it

 

Darling, just keep on looking, and searching, and one day you'll see that

There's no more need to keep up that hunt and chase for a place to call:

For a friend who knows what it's like to chase a home. This is metaphorically speaking of course.

  • emotional and touching
    youre so an amazing writer

  • Aw this is a very touching write. I liked the emotion, it was very straight forward. I also liked the repition in a few of the lines. I think my favorite line is this:

    "Try as she might, all the wishes upon a beaming star could

    Do nothing for this girl, who couldn't find herself in this world.."

    I think everyone has felt that way before, and it's easily relatable to. Life has many hardships.. but one day.. everything works out.

    Thanks for entering and good luck.
