Hi!
I’ve been feeling like it is time for me to start sharing some of my poetry online.
I wrote this one as part of my university project in my second year. I was feeling a little home sick being 170 miles away from home. I have edited it slightly since submitting it two years ago to suit more my style now and I am really happy with it. Hopefully sharing this piece will give me the confidence in the future to share more of my work.
Home is a Confusing Place
turn ignition just start going
the south only thing on my mind
feel
tyres spin
something solid
need to feel something solid
music vibrating through the car
I can’t hear it
anything but
but the but the voices
push on the accelerator
get me home
take me home
calls from south become a soft
echo beneath music
they’re losing strength
the north’s hand finds
its way to my neck
every time
their voices louder
don’t leave don’t leave don’t go
too many strings
you formed too many knots
the car slows
my breathing doesn’t
his arms open for me
I settle here
too many ties

Wonderfully written poem. It’s a road trip and a love story combined. That’s life, one I’ve pondered about for so long. And yet, we’re always on the move, right?
