Out Of Place
Here I am,
An unsettled soul journeying
Not excluded,
But out of place.
Here I am,
Asking myself
Is it because I am different;
Or is it because I am unique?
Here I am,
Trying to find a place
In a world I know nothing about
Feeling like baby Jesus in a manger.
Now it's Christmas
Don't know how to celebrate,
In a new place
It's not like every other Christmas.
Here I am!
About this poem
This poem means so much to me. After writing this poem, I was able to finally find who I am when other people are not around me. Finding myself after moving to a new country was really hard because I kept on moving on through everything happening without actually focusing on myself. This poem gave me an opportunity to find the me inside and stop trying to look for validation from other people.
