THIS IS NOT YOUR HOME...

THIS IS NOT YOUR HOME...

Rise up my child
You are not alone 
Broken dreams and heartache 
They are not your home 

Memories they haunt you 
Ingrained in your mind 
Voices all around you 
You must now leave behind 

This is now your home ...
You struggle for each breath 
A life of pain and misery 
Slow agonising death 

Scared of what you'll see 
If the steamy mirror clears 
Crystal waters forever murky
When clouded by sad fears

Find your way home... 
Their patience won’t last
Can't be strong forever 
So let go of your past 

Rise up and make your way 
Follow  the beating sound
Their loving hearts will lead you 
Happiness can still be found 

This is not your home...
Just the hand that you were dealt
Only time can heal
The hurt you always felt..

Jason, this was one of my favourite writes from you in recent times; love your humour too though lol!!  But for me I am always look for a story and a rhythm to a write and this had it all.  A heartbreaking tale, glad that it had a happy end.  A write you should be proud of.  I give this a sincere 5*s and a nomination from me:)

Sorry, I also meant to mention, which was an important factor for me was the structure that you used, the repetition of the line about 'home'!  Really instilled the feel of your write, much enjoyed:)
