Admiring Tourist.

I am just an admiring tourist

Walking the streets to a world in which I don’t belong

Window shopping for a change I want to see

Trying to speak a language unfamiliar to my tongue

I have known this landscape for far too long

Does anyone see me?

A place I used to call home

Has turned against me

Dark waves of admiration

Of greener pastures on the other side

Create blindness

Or fear that’s deep inside

Am I a permanent resident?

Or is it all in my mind?
