"Untitled"
Wanting a new life in
A far off place
Needing an opportunity
But frightened by stories
Hungry, cold, tired
With rats plentiful
Sifting through the shadows
Trying to stay afloat
The moon rises
The sun sets
Everything a blur
Except?
A dark line at the horizon
Creeping closer ever so slow
Overwhelmed by the anticipation
Only to be told
I am diseased
And must return home
Home
