Me As Me
September 13, 2023
With battle cries raging as we ran
Two to one place
The other to the next
One year later three got reunited
Five years later three became six
Nine years later six became seven
I am a Syrian refugee with a taste for history
With light in my eyes I read of my country
With light in my eyes I dream of my home
Now I follow my mothers footsteps and draw
Now I follow my mothers footsteps and read
Finally me is me
With battle cries raging as we ran
Two to one place
The other to the next

This is about how my family left Syria during the war when I was very young and how it took me a while to discover myself in America.
