I Will Try

dear migrant
where you came from
what did you leave behind
memories moments

dear migrant 
who did you leave behind 
family friends
 
dear migrant 
what dreams did you not find
there
here

dear migrant
neighbor 
liked 
disliked 
wanted 
unwanted
I will never understand you
you or your reality
fully
partially
but I will try 
try my best 
to accept you
somehow
even love you
somehow

< depending on the degree of separation we experience we are all migrants >

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

So true, we are all migrants on way or another. Thanks for sharing,
