(apparently last night I hit save now, and not Publish since I just found this in my drafts...)

how did you travel so far from your home
you look happy here day after day
but when you speak of your trip back to your land
your eyes become clouded with memory.

you are happier I see, when you think of your place,
across oceans and continents, far away.
if you had stayed would you be queen of the land?
for here you are not even admired.
