Homeland of a Stranger

And I miss them,
I miss them everywhere I go,
I mistaken them for other people,
And I wish they were here.
I still cannot feel home,
It doesn't feel like I belong here,
This is not my place, not my environment, and nothing near where my settlement lies.
I don't feel as part of this community anymore,
I feel excluded although I'm always invited,
But even when I go,
I am a stranger.
I prefer isolating myself and speak to my mind,
I reject to say it out loud unless it was to my reflection,
my mirror gets me,
I'm enclosed within my mental crowds,
Beneath a metallic shield away from home.
