How perplexing are the contradictions

Of ever-changing, personal convictions

All needs fulfilled, one yearns for more

And then, reminisces, his bliss of yore

My beliefs also, were similarly, swayed

And seeking happiness, afar I strayed

Now here, across seas, I aimlessly roam

With thoughts ever, of my distant home

But I know, that it is too late to lament

And meant I am, to endure this torment

For although apparent, I could not see

From what I sought, I was eager to flee

So, the moment, I shall patiently await

When my leaving, is permitted by fate

And until such time, I will play my part

While I preserve my home, in my heart
