Wandering Soul

He claims he was born,
without any summon
from his mother,
or a message from his
ancestors’ gods.

He feels like Jonah,
after he was forcefully
swallowed by a big fish.

He believes this world
is not his destination.
His face tells that he was
not ready to be born.

Maybe from a galaxy far, far away? I think there are several souls like this wandering around feeling lost in this world Teddy. I enjoyed this! 7 ; )
