Homesickness

Homesickness
is truly an awful feeling

It’s an emptiness
that needs to be filled
It’s a sadness
felt deep within one’s soul
It’s a loneliness
incomparable to any other
It’s a yearning
for the yesteryears of one’s life
It’s a longing
to be near missed loved ones
It’s an emotion
we all experience from time to time

Homesickness
is like being lost within yourself
