"Either I will find a way or I will make a way."


the plane has started down the runway

everything rushes past

i want to stand up and scream, 

"stop!

turn around!

let me off!"

it takes a gargantuam effort

to keep my mouth

shut  

 

just outside my window

i see a wave breaking

there is a yearning in my stomach

for the open ocean

home isn't where you're from

it's where you make it

i have made this place my home

 

and i am being uprooted


The author's comments:

I wrote this on an airplane, as I flew away from the place I had called my home.  It was probably close to midnight and I had been crying since the plane took off.  This poem is for anyone who has been uprooted like me.
