Arriving in the U.S
Arriving in U.S
The massive planes
hovered above me,
Crowds of people
surrounded me.
Cafes and restaurants
welcomed everyone.
Cars, buses, and vans
zoomed in and out, over and over.
Light shone through windows,
the brightness blinding me.
The sky, clear,
the airport, lively.
Sun rays reflected on everything ,
a movie of shadow and light.
The never-ending chattering
Filled and crowded my ears.
Footsteps and rolling luggage wheels
Were accompaniments in the symphony.
But my own heartbeat pounded like a drum inside of me.
What is America like?
This question kept coming back.
It was a boulder on my back,
Weighed me down, dragged me deep.
It haunted me, kept me awake,
But I’m excited to find the answer.
Butterflies in my stomach,
My heart pounded fast.
I felt like I wanted to scream,
But I couldn’t make any sound.
I felt so jumpy,
But was too tired to move.
My new life began.
My new life began.
My new life began.
