Where Do I Belong

Where Do I Belong explores the emotional struggle of cultural identity and alienation blending haunting English verses with Khmer reflections A heartfelt journey through displacement silence and the search for home

I was raised in a city that never slept Lights so bright but I felt so weak A face that stood out in crowded trains A name they struggled to speak

In school the rooms felt cold and tight A world of faces that werent like mine I tried to speak but words fell short Their laughter cut but not in sight

No map no guide no road to take Just echoes of a life half-made The question always stayed inside Where do I belong ខំទុងស្វានសេកកំនាំព្រេស់ Im searching for my place

Where do I belong In their world or back at home Am I lost or just unseen Am I nothing in between

Am I just a shadow moving through A faded dream a broken tune Where do I belong Tell me where I belong

Sixteenth district halls so wide Felt like a guest not meant inside I watched them talk I watched them laugh But never knew how to break the glass

A world so close yet out of reach A silent wall I couldnt breach I wasnt part of their design Another face left behind

No map no guide no road to take Just echoes of a life half-made The question always stayed inside Where do I belong អេវាធំអុបាន់ដូពពាស់ Why do I feel this way

Where do I belong In their world or back at home Am I lost or just unseen Am I nothing in between

Am I just a shadow moving through A faded dream a broken tune Where do I belong Tell me where I belong

I thought maybe love would change it all That someone would see past my walls She smiled once I thought it meant more But I was just another face she ignored

I waited I hoped I dreamed in vain But to her I was just a passing name Love was another door I couldnt unlock Another place I didnt belong

Tell me where I belong

Where do I belong In their world or back at home Am I lost or just unseen Am I nothing in between

Am I just a shadow moving through A faded dream a broken tune Where do I belong Tell me where I belong

I learned their wars their kings their land But my own history felt like sand I traced my roots to ancient stone Yet lived in streets I called my own

The echoes of warriors in my veins The sound of this world in my brain Two pasts collide inside my soul Too foreign for home too lost to be whole

Maybe time will show me answers Maybe life will change its mind Or maybe Ill just keep on searching For a place that feels like mine

I belong I belong

Im still walking Im still wondering Im still walking Im still wondering Still no answers to my name Maybe someday Ill stop searching Maybe lost is where Ill stay

Im still walking Im still wondering I belong
