I want to search for a new uninhabited homeland, and a land that does not hostile me, I want to flee from my skin, from my voice and from my language, I want to flee from my shadow and flee from my addresses. - Nizar Al-Hattab

In search for home ...

I mean a place 
where I can find my way 
in freedom, safety, 
and respect 
for all in me 
that makes me me

the sometimes / often 
hidden, painful 
parts of life

when I say home 
I mean a place 
where I'm allowed, 
where I am stimulated 
and supported 
to restore the balance 
deep inside 
that some call peace

please welcome me 
within your life 
within your heart 
...
