The ability to flee threats of violence and persecution is recognized as a fundamental human right, and some countries embrace their duty to provide a haven. Other countries, however, largely turn refugees away as an economic drain or security threat.

Itch for The Cure - Bring me the Horizon

"I know why you're here, you're fed up of the fear
Sick of the fantasy world they've built, so you never see clear.... You got an itch for the cure, but you're scared to walk out the door"

These lyrics always reminded me of someone about to embark on a journey that will change their life, "a cure".

I believe that war and peace are actually friends, who mock us. They treat us like enemies when it suits them, with no concern for the definition or the role we give them.

My Brain is an Immigrant By Senait Hagose

My mind can travel anywhere
Across the ocean, across dry land
Past, present and future
No traffic lights or mind the gap
No one can stop me moving.

My eyes can see the un-seeable
My ears can hear the un-hearable
My hands can touch the invisible.

I think non-stop.

More bad, less good.
Fear, flashback, scared, hopeless,
Stressful.
Sometimes I see no future.
More sadness.
Loneliness.
Insecurity.

This is my immigrant mind.

When refugees resettle to a host country, which is most often in a place that is not of the refugee’s choosing, the refugee must adapt to a new place and language under uncertain circumstances and with uncertain futures

"They asked me if I’d changed my name. It was at that split second that my present reality caught up to me, when the deafness and muteness of the moment erased my dreams and thus the power to look ahead, to look far ahead."

"No one knew if we were heading for the heavens or plunging into the water’s depths. Heaven and hell embraced in the belly of our boat. Heaven promised a turning point in our lives, a new future, a new history. Hell, though, displayed our fears: fear of pirates, fear of starvation... fear of never again setting foot on solid ground, fear of never again seeing the faces of our parents, who were sitting in the darkness surrounded by two hundred people."
