"Your people"

She tells me

My people ?

But I don't have such a thing

As my people


Here and there

No matter where I am

No matter where I go

I am a ghost

Present and not


In betweens

Haunting both worlds

Never fully fitting

Alien

Or alienated ?


Belonging

What does it mean ?

It feels like I've been searching for ages

A place to belong

A home


But they say

You belong where your heart is

But my heart is mine

It belongs to no place

No country


Maybe this is why I am so free

So wild

I belong to myself

To my love

To my strangeness


I belong to my alienness

My oddity

My difference

My weirdness

To me


I am foreign

No matter where I stand

I take this feeling with me

I can't separate it from me

So it must be in me


Like a snake in a cage

I felt trapped all my life

Pushed on the corner

Hidden underground

A wild beast captured


In the dark I dreamt

Dreams of sunny days

Dreams of other worlds

Of finding my people

My place


They couldn't see

How much I grew

Until I outgrew them

All of these spaces

All of these people


I shed my dead old skin

Showing my new self

Changed and grown
