Home
I looked for a place I could call home in the United Kingdom,
I searched from Glasgow to Bristol but didn't accomplish my goal,
At first I was concerned that my failure would become a problem,
But then I managed to bring my anxieties under control,
I scoured for a place to call my own in the French empire,
I explored from Paris to Nice but my search sadly did not cease,
I thought that that which I wanted was not for me to acquire,
But with time I found that my optimism started to increase,
I hunted for a quaint place to live within Germany's frontier,
I roamed from Hamburg to Munich while unable to make a pick,
For a while I was miserable since my future was unclear,
But I was determined to find somewhere that wasn't prosaic,
I decided to claim some land and then make my own dominion,
With the hope of filling it with beauty which elsewhere can't be found,
All without ever having to ask for another's opinion,
However I had to give up as the troubles faced were abound.
