I belong here but don't fit in
The way I think is different
The way I perceive is strange
Every moment brings it closer
And every awkward contact with humans
Leaves me stranded
So often I feel like an alien
Everything I've learned about living
Doesn't fit here in this place
The defenses I've learned
Raised on my own hostile world
So often separate me
I've designed certain algorithms
Ive established boundaries and lines
I've created so many peremeters
That have become useless
Broken and worn
In this place
I decided to reinvent myself
I thought, "I'll start it all anew!"
But the core of the person I've become
Remains isolated
The stranger inside of me
Is still lost and alone
I have fallen into a despair
The joy I onced used to shelter me
Has turned to sadness
And I wonder where I fit
I wonder if who I am
Will ever make it here
What it took for me to make it
My journey through time and space
Years and decades passed in flight
Spent longing for the day
That I would reach this place
To make for me a home
Arriving was like a dream come true
Even hardships were received with joy
I thought that nothing could shake me
I was solid in my gratitude
Every moment was a wonder
Waiting to be revealed
But I am stranger in a strange land...
