YOU WERE FINALLY AT HOME

So, you were finally at home,
With your family once again.
After all the roads your heart had taken,
Through thick and thin,
Through the illusions of life,
And all the choices it had laid before you.
You chose tranquility, despite the loneliness that came with it.
You chose to be yourself.

Finally at home, you learned to find joy
In the little that was on the table,
Rather than having more on the table
While living a life filled with despondency.
