homesick

i can't do this.
i've made my own world,
and they're shipping me back to my old one.

LORD, help me, please.
i'm desperate and i feel like i'm drowning.
the tears won't go away.
the pain won't go away.

and i know it's a very short season,
but longing can make a day feel like an eternity.

would you please help me step beyond this sadness?
home is where you are,
but i'm not where home is.

please, please, please,
make me feel alive.
i can't hold back the tears for much longer.
and nobody understands why this hurts so much.
