She floats
Neither here
Nor there
Her home behind her fills the void she left
Her new ‘home’ a strange land
She looks for answers in Ancient Wisdom
Yet studies Science for a living
She is deeply emotional
But uses reason to run her life
She values society
But she is a lone wolf by mind
She is forgiving of others
But unforgiving of herself
She wants to listen to music
That doesn’t belong where she is
She stands alone, and strong
But wishes for something stronger to lean on
She loves life on Earth
But she keeps looking to the Sky
She finds joy in everyday material pleasures
But is a stark philosopher
She belongs nowhere
Yet she belongs everywhere
She is neither Black
Nor white
She is stuck in this most uncomfortable shade of grey
Wondering why, if she is happy to live alone in contradiction
She still wants a friend to keep her company.
