Hometown

Hometown, a place we’re addicted to, A place we call our own. Yet, sometimes we’re compelled to, Sometimes, forced to roam. Hometown, a place we’re led to, lay our roots so deep. Yet, sometimes we’re forced to, Sometimes, forcing us to take a leap. Hometown, a place where love grows, Guides us as we learn and thrive. Yet, sometimes they force us, Forcing us to bid goodbye. Hometown, a place with feelings of pride, care walks in every street. Yet, sometimes we are left behind, And forcing hearts to bitterly beat. Hometown, where memories are formed, And happiness fills the air. Yet, sometimes we are forced, Forced to shed our tears in despair. Hometown, where patience abounds, And we find peace in its grace. Yet, sometimes suffering exists, Forcing us to endure and face. The town does not create these feelings, But due to people’s sway. They force me to shed tears, And sometimes, lose my way. Now I depart, unwittingly, Forced to leave behind what’s dear. Now I depart, unwittingly, Leaving my hometown, shedding a tear.
