Migration
(This is based on spoken literature.)
we must become a melting point
of culture
not seperated by our
identity
which tells us
who we are
not that we can identify
ourselves
find a safe place
where not your
ancestors
name
cultural practice
location
can
or can't define you
you define you
because
you
are you
and even if it may feel like
you are alone
or no one is like you
even if they are
looking
judging
we all understand
and
they are like us
they don't want to be
identified like that
and
maybe
they haven't been yet
they have not been brave
enough
to step into
a different world
a world
where
not everyone understands us
the way
our families do
the way our land does
a world
which
can be harsh
and cruel
but
it can be incredibly sweet
and bountiful
a world
where
we live
and
we try to understand
but even if we don't understand yet
maybe
one day we will
because
I identify with you
and
others understand you
because everyone
migrated from somewhere
at some point
and
all those people
they understand
they understand
what it is like to feel like they don't
belong
or to feel questioned
