										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Citizen of the world<br />
<span class="pullquote">Free of loyalty and<br />
Full of love</span>,<br />
Or so I said<br />
Once&#8230;<br />
When nothing else mattered<br />
But my desire<br />
To be anchored<br />
Tethered to another<br />
Indivisibly<br />
Unquestionably<br />
Irrevocably&#8230;<br />
And so I scoured the world<br />
Mindlessly<br />
In search of something<br />
Indescribable<br />
But unattainable&#8230;</p>
<p>The childish heart matures<br />
Eventually<br />
And stops chasing worldly boys<br />
That can&#8217;t bear to be caught&#8230;<br />
The childish heart matures<br />
One day<br />
And chooses the homegrown path<br />
It always shied from travelling<br />
Without remorse&#8230;<br />
Fidelity not to country or culture<br />
But to a worthy purpose;<br />
This distinction has made all the difference.</p>
<p>The childish heart matures<br />
Eventually<br />
And learns that settling down<br />
Isn&#8217;t about becoming enslaved<br />
To something lesser<br />
But becoming part of<br />
Someone, something else<br />
Something bigger than life itself&#8230;<br />
The childish heart matures<br />
One day<br />
And finds its place in the world<br />
A home in your heart.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.thewritink.com/citizen-of-the-world/">Citizen of the World</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thewritink.com">The Writink</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
