Beginning to leave
No family, friends
Without a home
Waiting for taxi
Feeling very lonely
A beautiful country
Pausing, thinking back
Missing my home
Reaching my destination
The old school
Dark empty corridors
And empty silence
Nobody speaks English
Thinking of home
Want to leave.
By Georgia Hannant
Lonely
Silent morning
Couldn’t understand anything
Words rushed straight through
Lie
Family
For ever
Never there again
Will always be gone
Why?
Home
Sweet comfort
Heart belongs there
Will always belong there
Me
Past
Never forgotten
My town stands
Will be there forever
Victory
By Charley Parkin
Freedom
How wonderful
I am leaving
To a better place
Home
By Joe Bastable
I left home
Everything I know
Everything I love
It was unbearable.
Coming from school
Not allowed home
Family have gone
What is happening?
Ushered into car
Away from Willerby
Out of Hull
Destination is unknown.
Frightened
Scared silence
Thinking of home
Wish I was there.
Alone.
Arrival
Shaking nervously
Where am I?
Wanting to be home
Destination.
