Where I am from I cannot return

As the egg laying in the nest of an unknown land

The Indigobird must learn to adapt

It was given only one choice in life

A daunting voice rang in my head

The voice of progression and progress 

Negligence isn’t an option 


Like a stroke of luck or God’s Grace

An invitation to an unknown land

One pawn forward and the war began

An opportunity to try again 


When the Indigobird is under constant terror

The Indigobird must adapt

When The Indigobird is threatened to fall to the ground

The Indigobird must adapt 

When The Indigobird is forced out of the nest

The Indigobird must learn to fly

This piece was the only way I could put into words how I felt being an immigrant.
