I’ll Give It A Try

23rd September 2022

I’ll give it a try
To write a bit about my life
Not feeling quite well
As today I couldn’t wake up.
But I made it to the Fringe
After 3 years of living here.
Thanks to another good soul
That has guided me through the road… (Natush)
Enough of the rhymes.
Today I’m just proud
I could see Lesa
After not feeling quite myself,
After feeling so tired, of still adapting to my new life
Because I’m also a stranger
That feels observed sometimes.
But many others have shown me
That this is also my home
So, once again, I’ll give it a go 😊
Thanks Edinburgh!
And Glasgow
And all…
