Fear was behind my decision
to leave my country
to protect my son
to protect myself.
*
He assaulted me.
He caused me much medical.
He threatened to kill me.
He threatened to kill my son.
*
I knew the walk would be difficult
but I had more fear
to remain in my country.
The laws to no help people.
The laws do no protect us.
We had to leave.
*
We departed January 7th.
We arrived January 15th.
We are here for protection.
We are here for safety.
We are here for asylum.

Ya! Me voy! [Enough! I go!]
