What you do if you find out you live in a lie?
You were not deceived partner, but an unwanted child
Your parents kept you only for their marriage
You seemed the right thing to have as society’s norm
What you do if you find out your nation enslaves you?
The culture gives you fake pride since you can read
Has many dimensions that betrays your value?
What you do if you find out all the names, labels are fake?
Like religion, nationality, ethnicity, family, childhood…
Do you just pack up and leave, the hell with it?
Is there a place somewhere that spells you?
Does that place accept you, like you are home?
All of us suppose to born in a home
Most of us wander to find a real home.
