REPATRIATION

I left with a bag of dreams
and a heart full of hope.
The roads were wide
but none felt like home.

I spoke in borrowed voices
slept under unfamiliar skies.
Smiled through winters
that never thawed my bones.

But something kept pulling
a voice, a scent, a song.
A name I once answered to
still waiting where I belong.

Now I return, not empty
but carrying what I’ve become.
Not to start again
but to finally come home.
