Autobiography Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Autobiography

Rating: 5.0

Let me tell you a story
A story of me
I, first, wasn't born here
I was born in White Suburbon Motown
Then travelled to the Sunshine State
I travelled
I travelled to here, Great White North
Here, I discovered my hipness
It's where I was turned from a happy child
To mournful woman
Who won't return to my homeland
And stay here though, I feel I don't belong
An outsider looking for a home
With a sense of belonging
And as the solitude crawls with every year
Into my heart
I will stay for all it's worth
For it's all I know

To belong or not to belong, Where really is our home.? Where people act as real human beings with consideration and respect towards others, that is our universal home. the country really does not matter, even if you were not there born.. Very sincere and explicit poem, LeeAnn, one of your best1
