I was the extra
In your own movie, supposed
To support your quest

Context (if you’re interested):

This was based on a poem I read, but I cannot remember the name or author of.

My home is not where
I will sleep tonight
Nor where I will sleep tomorrow.

My home is not where
Everything seems right,
And I finally feel at peace.

My home is not where
Those I love live
Nor where those I live with love

My home is not where
I can sit easy and
Stay put

My home is where
My heart is
As it flutters across
The moving landscape of the world

Context (if you’re interested):

I was thinking about to what extent I feel at home while traveling the world.
