Across the seas

Across the seas... 

A land of fortune, of our dream,

aspiring hearts, went on a search,

gathering courage, a leap of faith,

reigning on fear, of an unknown place. 

There was excitement at first,

to board on a flying plane,

letting them forget the struggles,

of procuring finance and documents. 

Be it students, or the professionals,

most of them have been nervous, 

things was new, difficult to adjust, 

away from the love and care of relations. 

It takes time to learn,

some may succeed overtime, 

but, many are left behind,

in the rush of job searches. 

And it starts to affect,

the physical and mental wellbeing, 

losing hope each passing day,

of finding comfort or solace. 

It's not only the expenditures, 

the social and legal troubles, 

that breaks the once brave souls,

some might even fall to predators. 

Without the umbrella of society,

they are the vulnerable creatures,

without the support of the state,

they are the stranded commodities. 

It's these stories of such beings,

their silent pain, in promised land,

needed to be shared, to the fledgling, 

make informed choices, for their living. 

For, these dreamers strive, far from home,

symbol of resilience, where hardships roam,

the daring soul, who create path for future, 

becoming the light, a beacon of hope. 

Still, it's not always a rosy street,

thorns were encountered, in every turnings,

affecting the health of mind and body,

sometimes a vision, not worth fighting. 

But should we judge their journeys?

We can never predict the outcomes,

still, I wish they find an understanding, 

of valuing home as much as they desire... 

A beautiful life, across the seas.
