Home is just another 4-letter Word

Ausländer. Outlander. Outlandish.
Die Narrenfreiheit begleitet mich überall.
Da kann ich nicht mehr sehen wo ich hingehören könnte.

Home is not where one is born. Home is not where the heart is.
Home, they say is where you belong.
But is belonging perhaps just longing to be?

Muss ich hingehören?
Ich schaue mir die cliches an und sehe daß...

Home is just another 4-letter word.

review von: peter rosei

ein ferner gruss von "Country road, take me home ..." - was heisst das: zu hause, daheim, home? very complicated. du denkst wohl an die "draußen", aber von "drinnen" aus. für die "draußen" ist es ganz klar: sie wollen herein.

No. It's really about belonging, identity, the expatriate conundrum. My own situation. The feeling of belonging nowhere and wondering if that even matters.

If I cut up the word belonging . to be longing - longing for what? longing to be? to be what? to be part of something? what if you don't fit in the box? what if a place of birth does not define you? what if a passport does not define you? what if a language is not yours? What if your Muttersprache is not that of your mother and your Land is not that of your Vater? And then there re the refugees and the asylum seekers and the privileged expats - not migrants.
