The Story of my Life

Unfortunate are those who die in a foreign land~ by poet

The patch of sky overhead is alien 
under my feet is a land unfamiliar
the air here doesn’t smell like home 
the water here doesn’t taste as sweet,
Buried I’ll be far from where I belong.

I really like this . I kind of feel that way about being away from my home state. Congrats on a podium win in my contest .
