Homeward Bound

I should be happy

Going back home

A restful vacation done

Ready to get back to work

To life, to work,

To love.

But, I’m sad!

What have I got back there?

Stress, hassle, loneliness.

The life I want is here

Excitement, fresh, big

And love:

With those who love me.

I feel so helpless

It’s all the wrong way

All I can do is dream.
