What the heart wants

In the depths of my heart, a lifelong yearning dwells,

To find a place of belonging, where my story unfurls,

But I wander in the shadows, feeling so alone,

A nomad in this world, with no place to call my own.


My heart's a wellspring of love, abundant and free,

Yet I search for a vessel to pour its depths into with glee,

The one thing I crave above all since birth,

Is a family to embrace, the dearest gem in this world.


Yet fate plays a bitter tune, a cruel, unyielding hand,

For the family I long for, I cannot have I understand,

So I carry this yearning, a silent, heavy load,

In the depths of my soul, where these unspoken stories are sowed.
