Poetry of Soraya:
When you emigrate
When you emigrate, you leave your roots in your home country
The foreigners sit down like a tick in your throat
and reminds you in time and time that you are a stranger
It does not matter if you are new or old in the new country
There is always something missing, some, some
Something has been lost on the way …
When you emigrate, the smallest can give you a lump in your throat
The world is becoming black for your eyes
The illusion that no human is as alone as you grab yours
As a refugee, you have many reasons to cry. Unemployment, poverty, loneliness,
As a refugee you become dumb, deaf, tame
The distance to yourself increases
You become antirasist
