pearu unga
beLonging
I do not belong here
The people always ask me
Where I’m from
And I don’t have an answer
Somewhere?
Nowhere?
I do not belong here
A man walked towards me
On an empty street
And I looked at my watch
To avoid eye-contact
Didn’t even notice the time
I do not belong here
A girl thought I was French
The French think I am German
Others Finnish or Welsh
My unknown accent betrays me
And no group accepts me
I do not belong here
I belong with you
When the morning light wakes us
And the night sky lulls us to sleep
In comfort knowing
I’ve found my home
