New Home
by Loraine
Beginning of 2016 it was
Here I was in a new place
I did not know anyone
and boy, did not know what to expect
My housemate, who is kind and caring
showed me everywhere
where to get food, clothes and refugee meetings
A lot has since happened
I passed my GCSE,
"You are the most Focussed student
out of them all"
Said my happy tutor.
I have since shared the stage
with the not so popular Labour leader
where I gave my speech
"We as migrants are so unpopular"
My new home
is a community of amazing people
who have embraced and accepted me
which makes me proud and happy
Moving to my new home
has made me appreciate my privileges
I can speak English, where others don't
I can speak for myself where others don't
Moving to my new home
has made me understand the world
has made me open to the world and
has made the world open to me too.
