[I'll come back with the title after some reflection]

Homeless inside a home

your existence was a burden

to the creators you did not chose

perhaps they were unprepared

or they made a mistake

it feels wrong to put a blame

there is no mitigation

perseverance is your only aid

there were a lot of lows

but your instincts never left

they unconsciously guided you

with some luck

and then there were people 💕

outside the homeless home

their softness shielded you

from the bullies and negativity

different things gave you strength

fear and love were the greatest source

it kept you on your toes

you feared being a monster and a loser

you feared deprivation

and feeling like a burden

to the people that you expected love from

then you got a tattoo of an 'Om'

which translates into constant awareness

that you'd hope one day to learn

then came sceneries that blew your hair

from the beaches to the hills

romance and beautiful scents

twist and turns, gradually moving up

up and up to the summit 

to watch the first ray of the sun

hit the mountain peak

it spreads a smile across your face

and you're sooo thankful for your existence 🙏
