Finding Home

I'm running away,

I'll be gone for awhile

With one pack of cigs

I'll leave with a smile

I'll never look back

I have what it takes

To leave this s**t town

And all the mistakes

I'll break up with you

And it will hurt

But compared to this town

I'll deal with invert

My life is a token

But it's lost on the road

So I'm out to find it

Until I grow old

Because I'm aching for home

But home isn't here

I'm searching for somewhere

But where isn't clear

I'll go to Cali

Maybe Washington, too

It might take a year

It might take a few

But it's worth the wait

If I can find home

So my heart will stop aching

And my soul will not roam

Maybe in Italy

Or maybe Peru

It'll be an adventure

But it won't fall through

I just want to go home

Where I'll feel content

Where I'll be welcome

And be stuck like cement

A good one...:)

[Coyote Poetry]

I have tried to run away often. Always ending up where I started. I like the desire and the story in the poem. I wish often tom be able to wander the world. Old age is slowing dreams and desires down. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Very interesting rhyme scheme ,Apatheia. Great job, and thank you for the read request.

An interesting poem with deep yearning to find happiness in the guise of moving on in search. It flows well and most of the rhyming works well. Nice read.
