Where I Belong Poem by Daniel Ukwe

Where I belong, oh where could that be?
Is it in the mountains or by the sea?
Maybe in a bustling city street,
Or in a quiet town with fields of wheat?

I've searched high and low, far and wide,
For a place where my heart can reside.
But no matter where I go or what I do,
I can't shake this feeling, this yearning so true.

It's a pull in my chest, a whisper in my ear,
Telling me that my true home is near.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath,
And in that moment, I feel closer to death.

But then I hear a familiar sound,
And I know that I'm finally homeward bound.
It's the laughter of friends, the warmth of a hug,
The feeling of love that envelops like a snug.

So where I belong isn't a physical place,
But in the hearts of those who know my face.
It's the memories we've made and the ones yet to come,
And the knowledge that I'm not alone, I'm someone.
