Homesick
I can't go back
This is where life has taken me
The city reeks with indescribable smells
Sirens blast like the city anthem
Multiple murders every day
People unfriendly, rude, obnoxious
I can't go back
This is where life has taken me
I miss the mountains, breathing fresh air
The quite sounds of the meadow
Peace and tranquility of the babbling brook
Everyone knows my name
I can't go back
This is where life has taken me
My tears drop on the filthy street
Reminding me of the morning dew
Police rush by chasing criminals
How i miss watching the forrest creatures
I can't go back
This is how cruel life can be
This is where life has taken me
The city reeks with indescribable smells
Sirens blast like the city anthem
Multiple murders every day
People unfriendly, rude, obnoxious
I can't go back
This is where life has taken me
I miss the mountains, breathing fresh air
The quite sounds of the meadow
Peace and tranquility of the babbling brook
Everyone knows my name
I can't go back
This is where life has taken me
My tears drop on the filthy street
Reminding me of the morning dew
Police rush by chasing criminals
How i miss watching the forrest creatures
I can't go back
This is how cruel life can be

Oh. This, penetrates my soul... deeply !
I love the way you conveyed such inner grief for places & moments gone by, now lost in a different environment.
I’m stuck in the same internal misery !
Though, I’m executing a plan to escape the hustle & bustle of inner city chaos.
I hope you’re able to do the same... for the sake of self preservation ~ 😎🌹🌞🎈

Thanks, yes it's been so hard, 57 years living in a beautiful county in PA with only three red light's and next county over has zero. Now because of my wife's job and the kids I needed to move to one of the most dangerous cities in America. Very hard for a country boy/ mountain man to live in this environment. Two years now but if anything my adjustment has gotten worse.

an expression that indeed
has moved my inner self.
If this, is not sacrifice, for the sake of family
then i don't know what else is.
Feel your pain dear Poet,
your juxtaposition of the Pristine with the ugly urban reality
is quite compelling.
Hope this stay and adjustment changes
for the better, for all
and soon!
wish you well!

I can relate. I got sick of big city life and found a better place. It is so sad you are stuck in this mess. If you can....find a way.....
