Belonging

What does it mean to truly belong?

It's not just about being around

Or having someone to laugh with

Just because you have a person that calls you friend

Does it mean that you truly belong?

When you look at your own life

What do you see?
When everything is stripped bare

And when things reach its gritty peak

Who will stick by your side

And who already have people to stand next to?

When family becomes the other

And you become an orphan with parents

Who is there to be your family?

How can you call someone family

When the way they see you

Is nothing but a complimentary friend?

In the end, what role do you play?

Are you the lead, or the supporting role?

When people get to know you

Could you just be the starting block or a parachute?

When the main character in your own story isn't you

Is there something wrong?

When your life shows this pattern

What can you do but to accept your inferiority?

Is it even worth trying to transcend?

And in this state of being this insignificant being

Is it worth claiming this to be your home?

Is this where I truly belong?
