5#
Then we came to United States.
I thought everything would change.
New place,
new life,
new beginning.
But some pain
don’t stay in one country.
It packs its bags with you.
Life got harder.
Not all at once,
but little by little
the kind of hard
that grows with you
until you think it’s normal.
People look at my family
and think we close.
Think me and my sisters laugh,
and that means everything’s okay.
But people don’t see
what home feels like
when the door closes.
