space

Though this isn't home
I feel as if I might not have
a home to come back to

Surrounded by sky I've never felt
so complete, completely alone and
completely myself,
here with no skyline telling
me where to go or how far I can reach

It's been too long and
I don't know if I can go
back to what used to be
a me-sized space.


(I realize this still needs work, but I wanted to share, I miss our meetings!)

This is a really great poem. I would say it's definitely one of my favourites of yours. Maybe it's just because I'm abroad and can really relate to it, but you seem to have put my exact feelings about being away from home into words. Awesome!

Last stanza, especially the last line, is great. I think you caught the sentiment on the nose with "a me-sized space".

I think the title could be changed, but otherwise great piece.
