Coming Back Home

Cold and dreary from this road I’ve been on Out here wondering 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 song Made my mistakes and forced myself to roam Exhausted, just trying to find my way home

It's not easy to write a quality acrostic poem, but you have one right here. Making the lines rhyme is even more impressive.

This is a very good entry Jessie, I think the first time reading you. This was exactly the kind of write I was hoping for. I think though, you meant eluded me, not alluded, would have placed higher, but either way a truly great write and win!
