Why do we always think the grass is greener?
When we get to the new yard it’s full of weeds.
Our cup of tea makes it easier to be an explorer.
We think that they have a nice demeanor,
But seeing what we want, we see their deeds
Why do we always think the grass is greener?
Instead we end up with a misdemeanor,
this time we weren’t someone who reads.
Our cup of tea makes it easier to be an explorer.
A new city is not the same as buying a coffeemaker,
we hope what we are brewing up succeeds.
Why do we always think the grass is greener?
I need to be more introspective and less of a runner.
Problems follow us where we go, more than one concedes.
Our cup of tea makes it easier to be an explorer.
But life’s too short, I need to be an adventurer,
Get out my compass, coffee, map and stead.
Why do we always think the grass is greener?
Our cup of tea makes it easier to be an explorer.

I really like this. It speaks to truths in my own life. And I love the repeating line about tea!
A Villanelle if I'm not mistaken and a very good one at that. They are incredibly difficult to do but I find them the most fun. Good stuff!
