OUTCAST

Thekkinkkattil

Away from my traditional home

I am a wondering soul

Left the land of my ancestors

With no roots and traditions to hold

Do I belong here?

My eyes and hair do not say so

I cannot be them

I cannot be me

In this land

I do not feel whole

What I left

I do not know

What is left for me

I cannot hold

Return to my roots

Is an urge of the soul

To do this I need courage untold

Feel stranded in this whole wide world
