5KD Refugee Poems

Closer to you

 

Every night I lie in bed in hope to find my family again. In my dreams I’ve been with you more than a million times. The day we lost each other was full of rain and tears, the storm above our heads was getting bigger and bigger and the flood, it rained and tore us apart.
 
Most days are lonely.
Most days are sad.
But when the sun shines I know I’m one step closer to finding you.

I'm close to giving up
Nowhere near home
 
Danger where my home is 
I am forced to flee
Sadness is overwhelming
Another year goes by and still I may not return
Sleep is my safe sanctuary
Tomorrow is another day
Enough of the life I've had
Running will not get me anywhere

 

Aimee Bole 5KD

 

Breathless.
Helpless.
Hopeless
Gun shots fired, I am tired.
Endless screaming, My ears beaming
Salty tears poured down my face.
Dead bodies in my face.
This country is a disgrace.
I’ve lost my family. I’ve lost my friends.
I start to think, will this war ever end.

Life Of An Immigrant

 

My family is gone, what do I do 
Travelling for me is like being a stamp
Depressed as I was I knew I had to keep going
My eyes fill up with water, before its about to pore out 
Nigeria awaits me 
My country is gone
No home no family no one around 
My brain is racing like an F1 car on the track
This could be the last look of my life 
Breaking a sweat I’m still running

Life Seems Long

 

 Scared, stranded
My heart is alone 
Trapped inside this box
That I will never call home
 
Worried, helpless
My heart is a wreck
Picking up the pieces 
Leaves a mess
 
Hope is the one thing
That I can count on
When boulders are heavy
And life seems long.

 

Clara Cumming 5KD

 

 

My heart melted with depression I carry on 
Hatred
Lost
Where am I 
My brain feels missing, it needs a home 
My bare feet scrap on the polluted flour 
Sadness
Loneliness
I miss my home.

Immigrant
Tears flood down my cheeks
A river on the concrete floor
Not knowing what to do
Hope begins to crumble
Like a piece of old paper
My heart sinks down to my waist
Like the titanic under the sea
I feel disheartened
Will I see my family ever again?
I try to stay strong
But I feel weak
Lost
Lonely
Immigrant

It’s been too long.
I’m stuck in this place, full of dreams.
Past, present, future. It’s all in my hands.
It will be soon until it will be all gone.
 
Grateful thoughts,
For this place.
Everything we could wish for.
Loved ones, Elders of this land.
There’s so much to thank.
