My Home

Missing the one place that I can trust... and the place that always made ME happy..

I woke up so tired this morning

My eyes didn’t want to open

I felt so weak and my body was sore

There is only one place that can make me strong

And let me remember what I am fighting for

So I decided to take a drive to my school

As I walk out of my car I looked at the building

I just smiled to myself

I went to open the door and I took a breath

And walked into the place I love

Walking down the hallway of all the classrooms

I had to everyday for a year, now I do every week..

Its just not the same

Why did it have to change?

Looking at all the students, reminding me of my class

I just smiled at all of them, because they deserve it

I was them once, working hard at their dreams

I take a visit to one of my Chefs

He is one of the few that has inspired me

Made me into what I am today

He is one of the reasons why I showed up for school

Just standing in the rooms make me miss my class deeply

Knowing that I can’t go back

Tears me up inside

I walk out the front two doors again

And I look back a few times

Whispering to myself

“See you later, My Home”

There are so many deep feelings about school! Many leave school with loathing, or at least relief. It's wonderful that you had one teacher that inspired you. I did too. I loved learning, but not school itself. I was not socially adjusted, so felt the outsider. I never set foot in my old high school except to go to classes... and the last time was over 43 years ago.

Enjoyed your write. I could feel your emotions.

peace and blessings to you.

I know the feelings of another place being home, and having things change can completely uproot that feeling. Although my place wasn't a school. ^_^0
