Who am I?

You sit in front of me

You ask who am I?

Dreaded by the question of who to be

I look you deep in the eye

I am the East

I am the West

I celebrate the feast

I get lost in my quest

Ever since my birth

Until the day I die

I roam the edges of the Earth

I swim, I crawl, I run, I fly

I search from end to end

Desperately Looking for a face

I fall and bend

But can't find my place

Surrounded by my people

I am nothing but a stranger

Lost in a haystack as a needle

Their looks see in me the danger

From the land of the Nile

To the Old Continent

Running for a mile

But I can't repent

You ask me who am I?

For you, I have no answering words

No explanation to know why

I'm nothing but a lost migrating bird.
