The rules are you must use the line as the first line in prose or poetry.
Today's line is...I FELT VERY FAR FROM HOME
OURS IS ...

I FELT VERY FAR FROM HOME

when I became a ward of the court,

I am still very scarred from beatings,

some of those bruises I still support...

It's not that I want to keep them,

but they come back in different ways,

emotional scars are truly

the hardest to keep at bay...

I've forgiven those responsible

and tried hard to move on,

even went as far as returning

to that hurtful home,

but it all comes back to haunt me

in not so subtle ways,

those scars will be with me

until my dieing days.

I really want my family

to know I still love them,

but the saying, for me, is too true,

I cant go home again...

It's a very short distance

to where I have stopped my roam,

still I can not help the way

I feel very far from home.

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
