All Comments on 'Just Doesn't Feel Like Home'

You may want to rethink everything after :

I need a place that comes to life

yet always seems so quiet.

which are two great lines, and would be a great ending. The four lines after the you might want to reshuffle before.

"that is home to me."

at the end is you drawing a conclusion for the reader, don't think you want, certainly don't need to. Reader already got there, because the rest should have put him there. Scored 5.

Flowers and lizards are my favorite.

I particularly like stanza 4, I have a place like that even though the fauna is different, and I like the last line just where it is

Five.

......because I enjoyed reading it. Too weary to comment however. <3

I liked the way you set the stage, so to speak, in the first stanza for what followed. I felt like a pilgrim, reading this, still looking at the end of the poem, but in the right direction. "I want to wake to lizards/napping on my striped blue shirt" is a great line.
