Jessie Jones Poet Acrostic

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

John Hamilton March 7, 2021 at 11:51 AM 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! Jessie Jones March 12, 2021 at 6:57 AM Thank you John! I appreciate the placing and enjoyed the contest. Thank you for the feedback, I did indeed use the wrong word there. Thanks again! <3
