sent away
Written by: Luca Fukuyo
Nowhere to go, harder to hide
We walk the paths of the rocky terrain
The waves hit the boulders
Weary days and nights
as the cotton candy skies settle down
We wait for the axe to fall
This will determine our fate
I’ve heard 4 months
But sometimes years
Time ticks slowly for the letter to arrive
The yes or no, and then we’ll know
Maybe we’ll find a safer home
“Is it here yet?”, I said
apprehensive of what will come next
As months went by, we got the news
Got turned away
rejected
Never felt homesick to a place I’ve never been.
