I come from a place
far, far from home
In the middle of what's specific
A cultural embrace
where differences form
against the waves of the South Pacific
Restoring myself with my heritage
Knowing who I am
Coming from the rich in
sovereignty & the knowledge
of being one with my land
I know who I am
I know who I was
Being lost in the foreign seas
That pulled me abroad
when I forced my way out
restoring my identity
This is me
This mist
that surrenders
when I
beckon the chants of my soul
giving me peace
with this war
within myself
& allowing my resistance
to grow
I'm in a place so close to home
in the center of what's specific
Surrounded by faces that mimic my own
Roaming deep
in the South Pacific.
