hey guys, seeing as were on the topic of belonging can somebody please read my poem.






Sitting on milk cartons…
I connected, consoled, convened
With my countrymen

Flicking through a newspaper…
I read the images
Engrossed, I was
They were my tongue

Humming folk songs…
I harked back on my
Haphazard past

Visiting the caged lions…
I didn’t feel like Achilles
Better still
I felt as free as a firefly

My new world
Brings out my best
Now,
I’d rather connect
Hearts
And
Minds
Than shuffle along with the lost
As I once did...

i wrote it...
imo when writing a poem you have to make it implicit i.e. dont describe everything like:

i walked in the room
they stared at me
i felt like i didnt belong

lol thats like an exaggeration but do u get wat i mean?
