Sometimes I feel a little envious of the people who have grown up developing close bonds with extended family members.
I crossed an ocean with equal parts anticipation and tension, fearful of the unknowns to a point that most would consider irrational, as is common for “my kind”.
I’m alone beside others who are not.
Cross ocean with fear
Find joy raising others up
Birds chirp in these lands too
Warm sun, distant lands
Sharing the path with others
Sadness in leaving
Brave foreign journey
Cool breeze over cobblestones
Bonds not how once seen
Looking down at cities, towns, and farmlands, they’re fragmented like glass shards by roads, railways, and edges of fields.
