Culture Shock

Living in a foreign land,
strangeness barking its demands,
lost, lonely, feeling bereft,
confidence snatched, from a theft?

Different customs to learn,
weak, powerless to discern,
what to know, what to ignore,
must I now sit on the floor?

Questions and doubts crowd my mind,
answers are tricky to find;
tired and agitated,
life here is overrated.

Screaming I want to go home,
resounds from the villa's dome;
resolved to catch the next plane,
I feel I’m once again sane.
