Born far from my home, I can't decide where that is My mother came from one side, my father from the other Two paths to travel down, both pointing different ways I learned to walk the line between the rails I wear both names but none will claim me A mirror shows the parts that can never meet I keep my heart beneath the surface Waiting for a place to breathe Always opposite, always alone Half of both peoples, never at home Nobody’s daughter, nobody to come home to Always opposite, always alone I look like one side - soft, small, velvet fur Inside I am the other - a fire that burns within No neat dualities, no tidy alibis I’m from neither shore, and yet I stand tall They try to name me, try to put me in a box But I’m the force that keeps our two sides apart Quiet at the edges, thunder in my chest I keep my truth where no one else can test Always opposite, always alone Half of both peoples, never at home Nobody’s daughter, nobody to come home to Always opposite, always alone They put me in charge, mostly to prove me wrong A half‑breed at the wheel, they set me up to fail Now I sit on the sidelines, watched and measured, boxed and judged They gave me power as a lesson, then they left me with regret Always opposite, always alone Half of both peoples, nobody’s home Nobody’s daughter, nobody to come home to Always opposite, always alone Always alone Always alone Always alone Always alone
