Holding On to Home

It’s hard being far away from the place I call home

Surrounded by people but still feeling alone

I keep everything inside,

pretending I’m okay

Smiling through the pain just to make it through the day

My mom tells me some things I can’t change

And I’m slowly learning that life can be this way

I miss the voices,

the laughter, the people I knew

I miss the feeling of home and everything we used to do

Sometimes I feel empty,

like I’ve lost my way

But I still hold on to hope at the end of every

day

Maybe I can’t fix everything right now

But I believe my future will be better somehow (better somehow)

But I believe my future will be better somehow (better

somehow)
