My happiness is gone
tears in my eyes
Only sadness
When I know I am not welcome
No one wants me in their land
I’ve been running from my once called home
They smoked us away
Do you know how that feels?
To know that nowhere on this earth there is a place for me?
Where I’m welcome to stay and build a home?
You judge me because?
I am just a child, I am lost
Walked miles every day in sun and rain with stomach pain.
A burden in everybody’s land
Yes I know it’s theirs,
their right by birth.
I have none.
They let me know every second that passes by that
I’m not welcome here and nowhere.
Can you imagine  how that feels?
Do you know where and how I live? You wouldn’t last a day.
Only sadness on my mind
Eyes filled with tears all the time. Emptiness inside.
So much pain so much grief.
Is it fair to be a child like me?
Just because!!
You could easily have been me.
Think about that.
