My Story
Each good person
we have our story.
Why we must leave our country.
*
My own…and my daughter’s:
Primarily
I migrated here
For fear of my daughter.
*
In my country
The truth is scary.
The gangs prey upon
our children.
They act in ways
unlawful
and
not
appropriate.
*
When our children
leave
to
go
to
school . . .
We do not know if they will return.
Will they return in the afternoon?
Safe?
We do not know.
I am here to keep my daughter safe.
