From Refugee to Freedom
A joyous heart in the middle of the night
I'm scared!
Wandering blindly in sight
I'm starving and paranoid
Who cares!
Passed by like the flash of light
Promising wind, solitude, companionship
Seeking a quiet place
I had no idea where I was headed to
I was like a fish without water
No memories of living in freedom
Life without any future
not because I wanted to
because I didn't have another option
I had eyes to see but I couldn't see anything
Mouth to talk but I couldn't utter a word to my dearest
Ears to hear but it was difficult to listen
Something inevitable in my life
Looking at myself in the mirror
Reflection of PEACE!

I am a refugee from the Democratic of Congo. I have lived in America for 18 months. Before coming to America my people were abused and losing their families. This came from a decrease in peace in my country. NHow I am in a peaceful country and I understand what peace is.
