My journal part 4 // lonesome

Its been a month
and im really starting to miss home
i guess its getting to me
always being alone

my friends and pat still stop by
but i think its my parents im missing the most
even though we always fought lots
you need to keep family close

i doubt they'd even reconize me
if they saw me today
i've grown a beard
and my clothes are all frayed

my hair is longer
and i've probly grown an inch or two
see im only eighteen
and growing is what teenagers do

i walked by the end of our street
just to see the vehicle there
i wondered if they were eating dinner
then thought why would i care...

i went back to the bridge
and skipped rocks across the river
i felt a breeze come in
and started to shiver

i made a fire to keep warm
and wiped a tear from my eye
held my head back
and said please dont cry

that night i barely slept
i missed home to much
missed what a real dinner was like
and the warmth of a mothers touch
