Out West

Born and bored in The South;
Schooled and wedded in The North.

The West provided experience and maturity;
But I kept my distance from The East.

The South never felt like home;
But it made me want to roam.

The North felt crowded and rushed;
And The East seemed a bit much.

In every region, many things went wrong
And sometimes I felt shut out and alone

But out West, challenges made me strong;
And Out West is where I felt I belonged.
