Mariam Musa Poet I do not know?

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.

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.
