You Can't Go Home Again Poem by Laurence Overmire

You Can't Go Home Again

If you leave and return
after a period of years
the image of who you were is

stuck

in the minds of those you knew
and nothing will shake
the memory lodged

for good or ill

to re-define yourself
(in their minds)
is almost

impossible.

~ Laurence Overmire
