My anxious, anxious heart

The land beneath my feet has always felt unfamiliar Even when I am home, I am not really at home

The land beneath my feet has always felt unfamiliar

Even when I am home, I am not really at home

What is it about me

that never gets comfortable

Why does my heart never beats normally

always at speed

always in a rush

Why is it always so many eyes

so many stares?

All I know are questions

All I have are confusions

All i want is

a home where i belong

-My anxious, anxious heart

sad poetry
