Busani Zuma Poet Crown of Sonnets

I Am a Stranger

to my life I am a stranger
 to my dreams I am a stranger 
 i don't know who I am and
 where I am from I have lost my identity
 i am lost please hear me out.

 i am in a place where hate is mistaken for love,
 where loving someone is a crime
 i am in a place where being in jail
 is better than being out.
 I am a stranger in my own country
 i am a stranger in my community 

i am in a place where being a foreigner is a crime
i am in a place where being succesful is a crime
i am in a place where crime is the new way of life

I need time to adjust with this way of life, i need time understand 
the world around me.
