Ps: this is about a book I read in class about a girl in a boy living in Africa and struggling with water and war.
Enjoying the day waiting to play not knowing that would be my last day
In my mind I felt safe but outside told me otherwise
Crying, and screaming all around me not knowing if we were going to die
Running away scared like I like lost my mind but that didn't stop me now
Walking every day dreading the way but just keep pushing for the water every day
The Dinkas and the Nuers fighting like dogs just wondering when they'll ever stop
Having hope about my family wondering if they'll ever find me
Having hope about the water that it'll be clean for my future daughters like it should be for my sister Akeer
Found my uncle happy as ever until he said he didn't see my mother
Back to the camp my mother hates please don't get my sister sick again
Walking each day crying so hard I don't know if I'll ever go any far
My sister is happy again I'm so glad I'll rejoice with them
Uncle died I feel empty inside, I might just give up and cry just gotta keep surviving I thought
Back at home to the daily routine just keeping pushing through and breathe just gotta keep surviving because in the end I'll make it out of here
Refugee camp spent six years there and I'm out again
I see men here what are they doing construction looks like a fine idea
Crossing the crocodiles scared and nervous gotta keep pushing to my purpose
Now I see drills I'm kind of scared because of the scars the men have so I just stared
I found my dad I could rejoice and cry and praise with real joy
I finally get to go to school what a miracle I wonder when they'll finish the construction I hope before the New Years comes
Traveling far to New York ready to work on dreams so far
Clean water and helpful men, just like the days when the sun's rays are shining
Fulfilled the dreams we could never imagine it's great to see amazing assets
Salva meets a girl she's young and sweet, her name is Nya meaning fresh and neat
Trials and tribulations for the past 19 years if somebody were to tell me that this was my future I would've ended it right here
A/n: finished Uhm I don't think I told y'all I'm Haitian. This actually made me cry tho. Gn pookies 🤪
