You push through all the hard times.
Look where you are now!
Successful.
But where there’s success,
There’s hardship.

Shrapnel lands around you.
Your wide eyes watch your scratched and ****** feet,
As you run.
Run away from the horrible sights.

Now you’ve made it.
You’re in a refugee camp.
You’re doing better now,
But there is still internal pain.

After many camps,
After many years,
You’ve finally made it to the U.S.!

Look at you!
Finding your family from 20 years ago.
“You’re so grown up!”
Your parents say.
“I missed you!”
You say through tears.

Where you are,
Is much better.
You’re happy now.
You sit there,
Thinking.

”I’ve made it.”
