Greener On the Other

It's always greener on the other side.
Many this philosophy believe.
They will others often deride
When they don't this message receive.

A few simple questions one must ask
As this mindset is curiously viewed.
Do you reality mask?
Is your logic skewed?

If it's greener on the other side
As you routinely purport,
Then why do you here abide?
Why do you not there resort?

It really would cause us no pain,
If you should decide to move.
There would be no need to explain.
There's nothing you'd need to prove.

So go where your heart desires.
Don't assume, though, that we all agree.
Whatever your satisfaction requires
Is where you really should be.
