Humanity

Her hair is black, her look is sad,
her body is slender and very small.

Screams.
She screamed thousands of times, to the sky, to the clouds, to the wind, or to the sea,
but no one has answered... they all have gone.
Her mother, her father, all who were on the boat have gone, but she survived.

Silence.
The sea makes so much noise, the seagulls cry in the wind, the waves come and go, but not a single word.
No human face... just her, the rocks, and the water.

How much time has passed?
Who knows?
She has done nothing wrong.
She left her country seeking freedom.
Yes, freedom!
Freedom to be herself.

She woke up in a hospital.
She's alone.
Her dreams are shattered.
No family.
Just a sky, a sun, and a moon to protect her.

To Live Again  
She needs to reborn and to grow...  
And thanks to those who today believe in humanity, she will succeed.
