Far Away

Here I feel so alone,
Away from all that I've known,
Although this is not the first,
I feel as if I am cursed,
That my head should be turned to stone.

Now and then I feel the pain,
Watching a window full of rain,
I think of my situation,
Away from my home location,
It wraps itself within my brain.

Slowly, softly, losing friends,
Experiencing a series of ends,
Not exactly what I had planned,
Somehow I wish they’d understand,
Wish they could see it from my own lens.

However, this is not the case,
Most are gone without a trace,
Friendships are very hard to keep,
Miles away, where distance is steep,
I guess a few will do in this place.
