(Un)belonging

From the moment I landed

I was a stranger, walking on a foreign land

From the moment I landed

The smells and sounds that were familiar to me

Faded, they became cleaner, quieter

From the moment I landed

Home was the place I left behind

Home became a question mark, a search

I longed for that belonging, I used to know

From that emptiness and pain, I took flight until

I finally landed into

My body, myself

I arrived, softly, upon my heart.
