.
A new country
And a new university
A step towards a dream
With beats in the heart
and eyes agleam
I move forward
One step at a time
One note, one rhyme
With each ray of sunshine
Taking my chances
New experiences
With uncertainty and shaking knees
Facing the circumstances
With strength And a smile on the face
And music with a banger bass
I don't know but Somehow
this shift hasn't been a surprise
It's like I had already envisioned this land and the skies
Overthought every detail
Anticipating everything that's gonna unveil
Like I've been part of some folktale
Or maybe it's the warmth and affection
of the people I've met
Who haven't let me feel homesick yet
But I think it will sink in with time
That I'm thousands of miles away
From family
and people I call mine
There will come a day
When these lights will hit different
The air will be heavier
And comfort won't be near
When the road ahead will be unclear
And this city, will feel peculiar
When reality would feel unreal
But I hope, when that day comes
I'm with people I can call my own
people who can make me feel at home
