A book of poems

This poem was written from the heart because I am an immigrant from different culture. In my country, there are not a lot of opportunities like free Education or enough opportunities to find what makes you happy. So I started asking myself why is so hard to find our way with the culture that our families taught us. Why do we feel lost and alone in it?

Somewhere

Everyone is born somewhere.

Somewhere !!

A hot place.

A cold place.

A place where the government opens doors for its nation to grow

A place where the government has limited resources.

Somewhere!!

But still, try hard to make it better by bringing other nations together

Somewhere!!

A place full of endless violence

A place where education is not a priority and limited

Somewhere!!

Everyone is born into a culture

A culture that differentiates you and me from one another.

A culture that shapes our individuality and views

A culture that teaches us that happiness comes from what we love

It is a culture that teaches us that dreams can come true when you put your heart and soul into them.

Somewhere !!

If we are all born in this world without choosing where we come from or culture

We still doubt the place we were born into

Where do we belong?

Will I be enough if I stay here?

Somewhere !!

Because you never feel you belong in the place you were born

You step into a brand new place where you can find where you belong

Where you are accepted for who you are

Somewhere

Everyone is born someplace

But we are still searching for our home belongings

Time

As Time goes by the clock

I start to notice some changes between you and me

Changes that I never seem to care about until now

We used to be a team.

Talking all day about our goals and dreams

As time passes by like the wind on winter’s day

Our appreciation for the people who tried to help us will be forgotten

As the clock ticks away by a second

We ask ourselves how much time do we have

As time goes by we get older

We question desires and destiny

As time goes by

We wish we could stop time and go back in time to fix our mistakes

To fix the corrupt relationship we have

To fix every broken heart and glass that fell on our shoulders

As time walks away, you distanced yourself like you stop loving me

As time goes by I didn’t fight for you to stay one more day

I didn’t fight to fix mistakes I made in the footprint

I keep missing you as time goes by.
