The Non Muslim world 

thinks I am a terrorist.

The Muslim world

thinks I am the wrong kind.

 


The world banishes me to my “home country”.

It is America, I know.

But they really mean: 

Go back to Iran.

But even they think I am a traitor. 

 


I am a citizen of nowhere.

I'm sorry you get hate. Keep fighting through it. Not everyone hates you. The ones who do don't know what they're talking about. I'd stand by you.
