When you are an immigrant
you cry in silence for the country where you grew up
when you are an immigrant
you sorrow because friends and family are dying
and you couldn’t say goodbye
when you are an immigrant
you scream in pain because you buy new shoes
and people back home are walking with bare feet
when you are an immigrant
you struggle with a new culture and language
and constantly think back
about the people you left thousands of miles away
when you are an immigrant
you cry when you find yourself alone
but also manage to bring happy memories back
from those days when you’d spend time
with families and friends and people you loved
when you are an immigrant
you get frustrated when you are looking for a job the whole day
and come back tired without any luck
when you are an immigrant
you suffer for all people back in your country
that don’t have a job and must scavenge for food every day
before the garbage truck pick it up
when you are an immigrant and become sick
you get worried for the expensive bills that you must pay for
when you are an immigrant
your heart become broken
when you see millions of people dying
because they don’t have medicines to cure their illnesses
when you are an immigrant
your heart starts burning
when your people spend hours with no power and water
impeding them to take care of simple things
when you are an immigrant
you become the child of no one
an invader in the new country
and a foreign in your homeland.
