"Unorthodox"
Unorthodox meaning different.
Unorthodox meaning unconventional.
Unorthodox, something I don't wish to be.
A whirlwind of people,
a white blur everywhere I go.
Laughter and giggles dance in the air,
couples stroll, and clusters form.
Groups of people meander together,
their voices come into a harmonious rhythm.
But amidst the vibrance
I stand across the sea of connection.
Across the Atlantic, I am a monument.
In the center of a city
anchored to the ground,
I have nowhere to go.
Trapped with myself
I stand day and night
Alone
Waiting to be recognized,
Yearning to stroll in pairs, in clusters
In groups.
Eager to become an element of them
anticipating the moments
where I can giggle, laugh, and walk alongside others
I gaze at my reflection in the mirror
My loose, long braid behind my back,
A delicately embroidered shirt with black pants.
And pearl-black eyes, questioning the world.
Then it ignites,
my accent, my language
my style, and my personality
Unique from any other
My unorthodox life,
a mosaic of emotions, and experiences
Which shaped me and who I am.
So I am unorthodox:
Different, and unconventional.
