Stranger

Quote:"Harriet Tubman: “I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land.” Inspirationt: "I have been a stranger in a strange land" Bible, Exodus 2:22 Starnger, a name whispered in unfamiliar tones, A face foreign in a sea of knowns, Crossing borders, a journey grand, I have been a stranger in a strange land. From distant shores, a dream in hand, New culture's tide, a shifting sand, Languages twist, meanings unclear, In crowded streets, solitude is near. Eyes that glance, but seldom see, An immigrant's life, a silent plea, To belong, yet to stand apart, Survival wrapped in a cautious heart. In the warmth of my circle, I find, Echoes of home, memories kind, Yet outside, in the mainstream's glare, A shadow I remain, barely there. Isolation, a cloak I wear, Loneliness, a constant prayer, In this new world, vast and grand, A stranger, always, in a strange land.
