College
Stretched between two worlds
Here and home
Home and there
Can I belong in two places
at the same time?
And why am I so caught up
with the idea of belonging, anyway?
Suddenly people respect me
here at school.
They're finally laughing with me
but that could be because
I've finally decided
to laugh with them.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
And I'm going home today.
Except now I call here home.
My school has become my home.
I think.
It's perhaps the strangest anamoly
I have yet to see.
Do I belong just because I'm here?
Can it be true that I'll belong
wherever I go?
I hope so.
I think that's what I was meant to learn
by coming here.
