Hand Luggage

This weight
is too heavy

Its burden
is too great

Yet I struggle
on regardless

Resigned
to my fate

Homeward Bound

It’s not the travelling without you that I miss…

But the call home to tell you I’ve arrived.

It doesn’t matter how loud the people are around me,

They can never drown out the voices inside my head.

Airports are a terrifying experience for control freaks.

The people, the noise, the unknown…

I already want to go home and I’ve not even left yet.
