I am someone

I am someone who thrives
rises and shines
with and around people
who are mine
who give me unconditional love,
support and care
and are always there for me
in my darkest times

I am someone who draws energy
from the crowd, chaos, and noise
that keeps throbbing in my veins
and gives me joy and
it is a sign that shows there is life around
and that I am very much alive

I am someone who withdraws,
keeps quiet and withers away
when there is silence, no human contact
and coldness envelopes around
When the sun shines out there in the sky
it doesn't really make me warm

I am someone who has learned a lesson
the hard way
never be blind in love and give away
everything that you have
your self-respect and mental peace
are the utmost things
that make or break you
and no one should be allowed
to snatch these things from you

I am someone who thinks
of returning to my motherland
who gave me everything
and made me what I am
my roots and the bonds of love pull me back
the comfort and money in this land
can't hold me back

I am a peoples person
and I don't want to change and adapt
and be lonely here
under the garb of leading a very "personal" life
I would rather go out there
face the problems and the crowd
make a difference in their situation
and be happy and satisfied
