To You, My Past Self

What is home? A notion? The feeling of being with someone? Or the physical place? Growing up I never had the feeling of belonging. It could have been the anxiety or the depression or a little bit of both. The reason for these feelings is that at the age of 16 I found out I was adopted. I grew up in a Puerto Rican family but I am half white and half black. But even before that, I felt.... different? With a sense of non-belonging . It’s like having an itch that I can't scratch.
