Tantalus

With a mind as fickle as rain,
With a crazy heart for a brain,
I always thought I wanted new,
Never noticing, who I lost, I'm left with so few

Since long, I have craved movement and flight,
Thought I would go from darkness to light,
Hoped to find many new colors, new words,
Wished to travel to a thousand new worlds.

So I journeyed across hills and mountains,
And bathed in numerous rivers and fountains,
Finding new friends along the way,
But leaving the old ones, not letting them stay.

Have been a vagabond for years together,
Have soared in the skies, but can't fly forever,
Bring me down mother, as I have forgotten my land,
Before everyone I love, slip away like sand

Take me home now, as I have learnt my lesson,
I want to rest now, I have no more questions,
I know where I want to be, No more illusions,
Home is where I belong, no more delusions.

A kid always wants out, because he is on a leash,
Untie him early, let him know at least
For himself, the kind of place this is
Pretty damn Perfect, is just the kind of maze this is.
