if anyone knows that what he has become then it's sure that he knows all; something introspective note I feel; nice to read

I like this poem, its theme and imagery. Some changes would improve its presentation: (a) replace ‘in an airport toilets' with ‘in an airport toilet'; (b) replace ‘means something more than journey' with ‘mean something more than journey' and (c) replace ‘be hunger' with ‘hunger'.

A terrible account of refugees forced out of their homeland

Home is supposed to be a place where everyone feels safe, secure, and loved. There are just circumstances that force people to leave their homes. This world needs healing and mending.

no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear saying- leave, run away from me now i dont know what i've become but i know that anywhere is safer than here...beautiful poem

How can anyone read this and say they like it, it's sad period and I don't like it not one bit

Warsan i really love your poems they teach nice

Interesting and deep

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen just turned 46. I wonder if she has children of her own and has ever lost sight of them - even for only a moment - in a crowd. She would do well to recall this panic. Perhaps she could even read this poem. I trust neither will happen.

Beautiful, and terrifying.

Wonderful artwork.... It's relavant in context...It has so much emotions

Very fine and meaningful poem for our times. Times must be said. And of the collaborator too - Pig in the Marmalade.
