If I knew where home was, I would run away from it.
But my home is misplaced.
Utah.
Connecticut.
Hawaii.
But if I knew, I would leave.
I would pack a sandwich,
Bring my favorite book,
Say goodbye to Italian forever,
And throw my cell phone away.
Then I would find a meadow,
In a place far far away,
Where the sun makes ribbons through the leaves,
And my skin becomes as warm as my soul.
There I would lay very still,
So still in that summer grass
Until my heart beats melt into the sun
And I am born again.

You have quite a way with words, I must say, Mandy.
This is beautiful! Can you create a book one day of poems and little entries like these one day?? Your way with words and your awesome style would make it a must-buy! I know it'd be so cute and lovely to read!
I love this. I feel the same way sometimes. Where do I call home or where do I belong?
I love Good Poems. It would keep me happy too.
this is amazing. it made me want to go to that place. no joke.

I feel this same way right now.
Seriously, the same way.
