roots

America. A beautiful beautiful land full of freedoms and rights. A land full of people I adore. A land that is supposed to be my own, so why does it feel so foreign?

A country that is filled with my loved ones. friends and family and mentors. A land that used to fill me, so why do I feel so empty?

A state that knew me since my birth, forming my worldview and beliefs and culture. Ive since traveled the world and can adapt anywhere, so why can I not adapt here?

A town that I grew up in, where my roots grew and grew and grew. They have now been uprooted, so now what do I do?

A home that is no longer my home. My home is seas away, so why am I still here?

  1. Lyric poetry can be a doorway. I am overjoyed you are creating in the midst of exile. I love you!

  2. Hey! It is like you understand my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some images to drive the content home a bit, besides that, this is informative blog. A wonderful read. I will definitely return again. Laureen Teodor Jeffy
