nowhere but here

sorry family

i had no choice

cant you see

your religion wasnt me

i didnt belong

i was out of place'

momma cant you see

i know your proud

daddy i know your mad

but cant you see

im nowhere but here

i love you both so much

i needed a choice

this isnt hard to say

nowhere but here

is where i wish to stay

im not perfect

grandma you hate me

i gave up your way

but i need a say

i dont fit in

im lost

i dont wanna be

nowhere but here

this is where i belong so i found it

where i belong

cant you finally see

im happy

i belong

to the hindus

they understand me

i wish to be

nowhere but here

Author's Note

this poem can be take how ever you want to take it but i have to say i never fit in with being baptist i was an outcast so i searched a religion and went for it this is what i feel god was trying to tell me so i studied it and i realize i belong. i hope you all enjoy it and understand what i mean.

Hard for old folks to understand anything different. But you must test the world and make your own decisions. In the end. It is your life. I like the way you wrote the poem. Told a good story with no possibility of a good ending till later in a life. Thank you for a excellent poem.
