Nostalgia

Nostalgia Nostalgia I want to go back To my home land I am totally shattered here And is totally misunderstood I want to go back To my home land And sleep in my old bed Hearing the music from my father’s radio Reading a book given me by my mother Pretending to be wise Hearing the sounds of my parents Everywhere And feel secure for some time And I want to love my mother I want to see my father I want to tell all my miseries To my brother And thereby lessen my heart’s grief And ask them to tell the people here Not to desert me like this And tell them that I was a good girl And is indeed their favorite And have a loving heart and soulWhich is so gentle and subtle And do not prick it With harsh words now and then But I am very far away How can I go back alone By crossing all these sea in between?

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
