Immigrant
Immigrant that cross horizons and borders,
You look forward to life with hopes and dreams,
you go on in life looking to surpass every obstacle to reach the success that in your country did not obtain.
Why do they judge you immigrant if all you did was to go around the world to find your dreams.
Carrying with you only the passport with the creator's visa.
Why do they look at you like a criminal,
if the only mistake you made was to dream of a better future.
Immigrant that had to struggle with your life to achieve your dreams.
Immigrant that inspire to explore the world with your strength and courage
you go through life working night and day sweating the sweat of your forehead.
Immigrant why are you depressed in solitude,
Why do you drown in a sea of weeping,
Why is it that society does not look at you as a warrior who has suffered and has managed to surpass the tests that life has given you.
Immigrant that often wonder why you had to face
So many adversities and
you want to escape because instead of finding support you find a rejection.
Immigrant why is it that you are despised by your accent,
And for not having a document that proves that you are resident.
Why do you feel inferior, if you have been created with the same characteristics and
rights of others.
Why can’t they understand you instead of isolating you,
Immigrant why instead of finding peace
you find war.
why instead of finding an open door
you find it closed.
why instead of quenching your thirst with water
they let you die in the desert.
Immigrant why do they humiliate you so much if you're just like them.
Why is it that they close their minds to know you.
Why do they trap you in a dark labyrinth without an exit.
Immigrant why do they make fun of you and criticize you,
as if you were a stranger.
why instead of helping you find a solution
they stuck you in a swamp to sink you.
Immigrant even though they destroy your dreams,
and your strength weaken
Never forget that you are a warrior who has surpassed every difficulty that life has put in your path.
Never forget that just as they have rejected you
Others stretched out their hand and rescued you.
Immigrant never forget that in life you will find rosebushes
but also with many thorns that will hurt you
to the depths of your soul.
But no matter what you go through
never
leave your hopes and dreams
because remember
that's what makes you who you are
a warrior who has left everything to find a better future.
