A Refugee's Sorrow

All I ever wanted, was to live a happy life Never did I imagine, I'll one day face this plight I never wanted a life filled with sorrow so rife All I hoped for in my life, only a little light Home was the best, not west nor south Up until, the war broke out I can't even relate all I've seen So many war crimes, I'm not even eighteen Now, I leave for another man's land Where I'll be tramped upon like I'm sand I'll cross oceans, take great risk What can I do? I have to act very brisk With all the misery, different things I ponder I'm I not a human? I'm often forced to wonder My brothers and sisters, I'm in great pains Must I endure a lifetime of chains? Some countries, won't let me through their borders Does it really matter that we aren't even brothers? We're all humans, that's the reality We're supposed to live,in peace and Unity.

Mariam, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
