Over the many years that I have been away from my home town of Ithaca, my only desire has been to return to my family and kingdom that awaits me. All I have been thinking about for these past several years has been Ithaca, my home. A couple days ago on the island with Calypso, I managed to escape from her and see her in her true and real setting. She was singing little tunes under her breath but when I heard her start to say..."I'm staring out into the night, trying to hide to pain", I immediately felt a connection. I learned later that this is called “Home,” by American superstar Chris Daughtry.
This song now holds significant meaning to me because the lyrics fit so well in my life. The chorus of this song has always moved me because I have been away for so long when all I’ve wanted to do is return home to my loving wife, Penelope. I hope that Penelope knows that I still love her and how hard I am trying to find my way back home to her. I also do not want Penelope to think that I am not returning home on purpose, or that I am away living a luxurious life without her. I do not regret the life I have made for myself back in Ithaca. I had a beautiful wife, a brilliant son, many loyal and dedicated men working for me, and a whole kingdom to run. What’s not to love, right? I want Penelope to know that I am so tired of being held captive by Calypso and all I want is to see her lovely face again. It just seems like the longer I am away from my home, the harder it is to find my way back.
Now, a thought has just occurred to me. What if when I return home, Penelope does not want me back. Oh, my dear Penelope, if there is any possible way that you can read this blog, please know that I am so sorry for the mistakes I have previously made as your husband. I never meant to cause you any pain by doing anything wrong towards you, and I hope that if I shall ever return to Ithaca, you can welcome me back with arms wide open. I will show you how great of a husband I can be to you.
Overall, the song “Home” reminds me of getting back to a better place, my home. I will keep everyone updated with my situation still, but if anytime you are bored and need a song, I would strongly suggest taking the Chris Daughtry route and sticking to your true roots. Make Odysseus proud. And Penelope, just remember: “I’m coming home, back to the place where I belong, and where your love has always been enough for me”
ODYSSEUS.
