And in those seven voices I found home.
Through fate we were connected
Or by finding a way to each other
At last, I found home.
Home meant those seven people
Who showed up for me when no one else did
It was those people
Whose birthdays, songs, names I knew.
It was them who gently pushed me forward,
Who made me feel seen in a world that overlooked me.
Through them, I felt a quiet desire to become more
In their presence, I found something that felt like home.
I felt safe, united, reassured
Like a runaway where I could just be me
With no judgement
Or no questions asked
It was them who I turned to when times felt rough
Them who made me feel understood
It was them who I connected to
Most of all, they felt like home.
They didn’t know my presence
My name, my age, or the dreams I kept
But still, I trusted them with my heart
Because with them, I found myself.
Their song lyrics which felt like a hug
Or walking into a cold room after the heat
It was a rose that bloomed in peak winter
Like fate, that brought us together.
It was fate that led me to a quiet escape
The voices of seven familiar, yet farIn the end
it was those seven angels
Unnamed, but known.
Unnamed but known By Areeshah Amin
