Coming Back Home Poem by Nebil Elias

Cold and gloomy from this path I've been on
Out here pondering just where I went wrong

Memories hold me together and tear me apart
Inching me closer to the place I left my heart

New places, smiling faces. It is all just a blur
God knows I have been searching for a cure

But peace has eluded me or so it would seem
Afraid of nightmares so I refuse to dream

Caught somewhere in between heaven and hell
Keep telling myself I'll get through this spell

Holding on to hope and trying to stay strong
Over and over, stuck on repeat, the same old song

Made my mistakes and forced myself to roam
Exhausted, just trying to find my way back home
