The Best Poem Of Erica Hemenway

Searching

That place you call home,
where you feel safe and secure.
That place begins to change.
Not the place,
the people...
Not the people. You.
You grow up, or maybe just grow out.
The need for a bigger life,
to feel the thrill of experience.
Out of this place, into the next.
How far can you get?
You push, but there's no release...
Family means everything, but something is missing
Unfulfilled
Restless
A developing need to accomplish something.
Where will this life, this pathetic existence take you?
What happens next?
Unable to see the future, it's dark and forbidding.
Nowhere to fit, standing alone in a sea of faces.
Surrounded, yet completely alone.
