I always wondered why
The city scape
Felt more like mine
Then
My childhood home

Why the world looked
Like it was more possible
In a foreign space
Then impossible
In what I suppose is a place
Confined in concrete

Why I grew more
In the sounds
That screamed outside
My window at night

Why I learned more
Here
Then, a school

In this city
That felt like somewhere
To be estranged
Then, somewhere, I could remain
