The day I became me

(pantoum)

The day I became me
Found a place to call home
Becoming the thing I was meant to be
The day I finished building Rome

Found a place to call home
Never thought I'd face eviction
The day I finished building Rome
Claiming my label with such conviction

Never thought I'd face eviction
The exactly real I felt in that place
Claiming my label with such conviction
Sometimes a body out grows their space

The exactly real I felt in that place
Becoming the thing I was meant to be
Sometimes a body out grows their space
The day I became me
