Belonging

Should you belong?
Or should you be alone?
Is belonging worth it
If your true self is lost along the way?
Is losing yourself worth it
If it's the only way you could belong?

Belonging
A farfetched concept
Churches emptied
Families dismantled
Country towns abandoned
In this lonely world of ours
Where we seek belonging
Through money, and fame, and approval
Only to find ourselves
Farther and farther apart
From each other

Belonging
O that elusive ideal
I seek for it
And yet
I always belonged to you
Always belonged
To myself
