It's funny

How I start to recede 

And lose my voice

Whenever I realize how far I am

From being one of them

I forget how to speak

I forget how to interact

I tell myself I am not one of them

Though I live among them

My family is lost 

Lost somewhere in the void of time

Lost somewhere I can't return

I don't belong anywhere

And yet 

I know I belong everywhere 

Wherever I go, I am meant to be

Bound by fate to walk this path

But making my own choices

I write my own story.
