Belonging
After the break up when they split
a sense of loss, fear, anger and pain.
A father doing is best
a older sister who beacame insane
No sense of belonging a longing for a place to call my own, to call a home.
A mother dealing with her own grief
listening to their arguing, moaning.
No rules or boundaries. Seeing things a child shoudn't see
Insomnia kicks in due to anxiety
No sense of belonging a longing for a place to call my own, to call ahome.
So she got wed but again instead was lost in translation, no love or jubilation
A man who cared, yet others who judged
So after all theses years through the tears I finally have a place to call my own.
Where One can be themselves and feel at peace.
No swaaering or shouting. Just my place to belong.
