Lonely Soul

This poem is based on the experiences of friends of mine who grew up in the U.S. but live in other parts of the world. I think there's a lot of beauty in writing from a place of empathy. If that topic interests you, you can read more about it here.

Lonely,

to be the only owner on your street

of a soul that speaks your native tongue,

of a heart that beats with your Father’s drum,

of a mind that seeks to find itself with

Strength enough to love the

Lord your God.
