Far Away From Here Poem by Max D. Hornbogen

Why am I so far away from here, friends and family seems to be so far away from me. Can’t seem to be around them long enough, I just want someday to have a normal life.
Now I see that the sun is slipping away from me, can’t have those moments anymore.

Pick up the phone call somebody that I know, just having those conversations means a
Lot to me. Why am I so far away, from the town that I grew up in? You know got to be
on the road, just got to be on the go.

The warm place that I know is somebody that is close to me. Just feels like there is a
part of me lost somewhere. Deep down there is happiness in me somewhere? Just can’t
seem to find it.

There was a place that I knew, but those sunny days are gone like the wind. This has an effect on me, in many ways. Those sunsets were everything to me, now I can’t see them anymore.


So why am I so far away from the people that I love, you know I want to be with them. But the road is too long for home.

You know I am just too far away from home, this road is so long. But I’ll drive just for you. So when I’m there we’ll hang out, just like the good old times.
