How beautiful it is to be so happy,

Yet be so sad

I have found inspiration in lands I am unusual to

Through the tall pines and bushes

The prideful mountain tops

That is what makes me so happy

To be in this small town for only a short time

I love how intoxicating the sceneries can be

I am only here for such a short time

To excel at whatever it is that I choose

I don't even know what country to claim myself to

I move around so much since forever

Not adapting to one culture or another

I am legally Turkish

But I have no sense of culture

That is what makes me sad

I don't want to move from this place

I want to stay and grow into this place,

But I have to leave eventually

All my life has been whatever

I didn't care about moving so much

But here has sparked something different

But painfully I can't change my fate

So this will make leaving this place so bittersweet

I must, but oddly enough

My heart will stay

In this town of pines

Forever and always

How beautiful it is to feel like you are finally something

How beautiful it is to want to belong

I will always love this weirdly unique place

No matter how many times I move over and over again

This place has earned a spot big enough to call home
