Read Time:46 Second
how does it feel / to gaze through the window / of your being / search for self / petri dish of questions under a lens / feel the quietude of a man whose flesh is not just a cloak / upturn the last "t" in identity / soul search / revel in this satisfaction / this sense of belonging / to crawl into a depth / & not be labelled alien / to find a place in your soul / you call home / unmask / you are on / the ledge of a mountain / your doubt a mirage / when you get the last piece / of the puzzle / don't walk alone / search this street for your kind / souls atoned / with names etched / on a canvas of gold.
