The Emigrant's Poem

It is a poem of an emigrant arriving at Ellis Island alone, surrounded by many strange people.

The movements throughout the world

they chill me.

The people I do not know

they kill me.

The hearing of another tongue

it scares me.

My foreign outfit

it bares me.

I see the world in

black and gray.

I sense the time

another day.

My perception is blurred

I feel hot.

I can't say a word

for my mouth, it moves not.

Author's Note

I know there's a lot of different poem styles, but I just put it together really quickly before the ideas left me.
