The train moves towards home,
To the place from where I come.
Deep in thought I sit.
Gazing at the window and the fields that lit.
Memories flashing like movies,
to tell I have loads of stories.
Richer by experience I am now,
Like I have seen the worst of things somehow.
Something within me has changed,
I no longer bother about being accepted.
I no longer put others before me.
But I am not selfish you see.
I love myself more than anybody else,
With entire heart and every pulse.
My heart thanks the toxic people I met,
My head frets and my eyes are wet.
Tears trickle down,
And I frown.
But then I smile again.
Again after bouts of pain.
For I am going back home,
To the place from where I once come.

I know that feeling. 🙂 It’s lovely to return home after a while, changed yet some things that have stayed the same. You’ve expressed it very nicely. 😀

Yes, things have changed and yet haven’t. Thank you so much Leo. 🙂
Homecoming must be a different feel altogether, I can’t say since I’ve never been away for that long. But yes home is about being ourselves without any worry at all, beautifully portrayed in the poem. 🙂

Home is a feeling not a place, I feel. You should move out at least once in your life, it is a unique experience.
Thank you so much. 🙂
Train Journey and Mental Journey together in the same poem!Nice thoughts!
Thank you. 🙂
Loved it ! it’s always the good moment when u go back from where u started, a sort of changes one experience and can feel, lot more to share and entirely one’s own definition of right & wrong as one experienced. I hope this happy moment will never leave u and continue being selfish if it makes you happy without hurting or caring about what other think.
Btw.. lovely new blog theme and look ha.. good good… congratulations on reaching your next level, will catch your earlier 6 days posts soon 🙂
Couldn’t agree more Shalini. About being selfish, it is just being me. Ain’t it ?
Thank you so very much ,love. <3 🙂

Isn’t meeting toxic people become blessing in disguise? If we see the bigger picture, we only feel glad to have experience with such people and it is the experiences we share with them that make us wise!
The poem was very powerful!
Cheers
Yes, I have come to realize, I am glad I met them. They have made me richer. Richer with experience. 🙂
Thank you so much. 🙂
Simply brilliant and love the flow. What’s wrong in putting one at the lead and no, it’s not selfish. One can and should never lose the self.
You have expressed the emotion really well. Beautiful composition!
