A Nomad's Dilemma

I found my mind in a stitch,

My heart, a seven year itch,

To abandon the things I’ve found,

Stand up, pack up and leave this ground.

Perhaps this tendency runs in my blood,

When my ancestors escaped a great flood,

Embarked on a ship from China,

Off they sailed for South East Asia.

My parents left Malaysia,

Brought us to Australia,

Said it was for our education,

But left before my graduation.

When life was filled with uncertainty,

All I asked for was stability,

But when this was granted,

Security I fear is not what I wanted.

The biggest drawback I encounter,

Is the possibility of friendships lost forever,

And despite the fast paced internet,

Close proximity I will never get.

In the forefront of my mind my resume,

In the background haunting, my eulogy,

Pondering life’s enigma,

I sit with this dilemma.
