Foreign Spaces

Foreign Spaces,

Spaces you feel you don’t belong

Spaces that seem unmade for you

Spaces claimed by others as own.

 

To navigate foreign spaces

Is to accept that it is not yours.

The illusion of such dies in crisis,

A space once welcoming

Becomes violent and unaccepting of you.

“Go Home!!” They say.

But isn’t Home an even more foreign space

Feeling alien from those you call your own

Far from a space to call home.

 

Foreign spaces,

Can’t speak, rather suffocate in silence

As a visitor is expected to.

 

Where is Home?

A space I can call my own?

Is there such a space in existence?

In the meantime I navigate,

Navigate these Foreign Spaces

Hoping one day to find Home.
