The fight within myself
wrestling with my past
finding a path in the present
that leads to the good future

Raised away from my peoples
in a place that did not want me
and that I did not want
leaving me without language
without culture
without bonds

Adrift between worlds
I want to grow roots into my roots
I need to grow roots into my roots
So I cease to be lost
Feeling like an impostor
not by my fault

What was hidden from me,
how do I take it back?
Just wishing to learn
to listen
to feel
to be
