The terrain of my soul
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
I don't want to be here anymore
I'm sick of this life
I'm sick of the people, the places, the endless nothingness
I want to go home
Let me go, mother. Let me go home, to the real God, the real Love of my life
I don't belong and I don't fit the mold anymore
I long ago became lost on this endless ocean of time and space
I am no longer willing to try and fit in
I'm so tired. I'm so hurt and afraid and angry.
I want to go home. Please let me go home.
About this poem
Another one about suicide. They all are. It's all I think about.
