Free Verse Poem On Refugees


  I decided to use this image to represent the stories of the refugees.  The eyes show all the stories and feelings from people’s lives.  The refugees would have seen so many awful things and I wanted to use the eyes to make that connection.  Eyes reveal and show so much about us that we try to hide.  A person can smile but yet their eyes tell a different story, and in the videos that I watched, this was usually the case.  The mouths of the refugees smiled, but their eyes showed pain, worry, horror and tension. I hope I was able to capture the refugees experience well.

   Scars
Terror, Death, Pain.

Blink.

War, Broken, Heartache.

Blink.

Hope, Betrayal, Truth.

Blink


Look away.



People Shattered Destroyed.

Blink.

Stories burned in minds.

Blink.

Life is all but gone.

Blink.

Crying screaming.

Blink.



Look away.



Help!

Blink.

Save us.

Blink.

Staring walking past.

Blink

Hated for our scars.

Blink.



 Look away.

Our scars are Piercing.

Blink.

Our stares are holding.

Blink.

We don’t dare to hope.

Blink

Our eyes are only broken.

Blink.


I cant look away.
