Back Again

Why leaving on this day A good reason to run away Starting a crusade on a fraud On behalf of a paltry cause Pretending to be the right one Eager to win the bet Confident to become Who we cannot be yet Drifting away from our home Tossed back and forth among the woes Shifting our way to escape Feeling alien to a chosen fate Answering riddles in the dark A dangerous lair to scout Diving deep for a tiny spark To find a path through our greatest doubts Waking on a stranger shore Exhausted by years of war Caught unprepared by the swirl Of the torments of the return Good fellows to leave behind Wrong beliefs to cast aside Thwarting headwinds and evil traps Left absolutely alone and finally back Nothing else than a sum Of appetite and distaste Kneaded with emotions But a freewill to embrace An ethics still to craft Slumbering or awake Ever-improving draft Or degenerated fake Homecoming at last Finally found a way No longer an outcast Changed and yet the same There and back again A narrowing swirl From the unknown to oneself An eternal return
