Analysis of did you ever want to go home... but didn't have one

Richard poor 2956 (Somewhere)



all my life
is spent
chasing dreams
not greed
something more
i was born with
never forgotten
always
a persuasion
that cannot be
ignored,
here
on page countless
upon my flesh
the mark
the scar
of living
wishing on the stars
knowing
one day the truth
will show
all i asked
sought
and why i
suffered so.
