At home at last

I’ve been feeling
More at home in the world
Even outside my apartment
I take my shoes off in the park
Sit on my neighbor’s steps
Eat food at restaurants
Drink at bars
Sidewalks are hallways
The whole city is a house
Strangers are my roommates
I guess I just feel
A little less separate
A little more at ease
Like I’ve been on a long journey
As a stranger
And I’m finally arriving
Where I belong
Even though I was always here
It feels different now
Like I’ve journeyed far and wide
In strange lands
And I’ve finally found
Where I belong
Which is right where
I’ve always been
But now it feels different
I’ve journeyed far and wide
Feeling like a stranger
In foreign lands
