Scared

Scared cold and shivering

Heading off to a new land

Not knowing what to expect in the end

Hot tired and scared

Locked within a metal box

Split up from your family

It takes an awful lot

To be driven to such extremes

But others don’t seem to care

They’ve no idea just how much you are scared

Heading to lands where you know not the language

Treated as illegal aliens by those who did the damage

To your country and your way of life

They all think they know but in fact they don’t

They should be welcoming and warm as well as helpful but they won’t

But I just wanted you to know, when you’re scared you’re no alone

My thoughts like many others are with you always

See there are people out there who care

And from you on your journey we all pray.

  1. It feels ‘wrong’ to like this – but you write about a harrowing subject matter so beautifully 🖤🖤

    1. Thank you. I write about subject matter such as this in hope it raises awareness and gets people to understand the truth as it really is rather than out across by politicians, and the media, who spread division and hate at those struggling to survive and driven from their homelands by war.

      1. And I commend you for doing so.
        You make these points (which I agree with wholeheartedly) so eloquently throughout your work.
