U.S.A
Chaos here,Chaos there
The government was destroying Brazil everywhere
The price to get food was as unbelievable as achieving world peace
My family was falling down really quickly, like a boulder rolling down
Until
An old friend who worked with my dad and mom sent a text saying
“Come to the U.S.A, Cesar (Dad) comes first then the rest of you.”
We accepted the offer, you could see the flames of hope re-awakening
A smile from ear to ear, Tears of joy rolling down my cheeks, with eyes light up and my heart beating as fast as a bullet train, waiting for the day we would go to a new place.
After 5 months was our turn to go (Me, my brother and mom)
It felt like every second was a hour.
I couldn’t take it
I wanted to hug my dad and meet my new home
When we got here, my mom told me and my brother
“We can figure out a way to solve anything, except for death”
Tears rolled down my eyes, with a expression of someone who saw his past disappear right before his eyes.
“It is time to write a new story, the Z. story”
