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.
By Aayat Farooque 5KD
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
Henry Maxton, 5KD
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.
Arlo Bird 5KD
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
By Leon Barrot 5kd
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.
