Don’t Give Me Advice (Poem)

You have no idea what it means to walk with hunger

You have no idea about illnesses without medication,

To experience heat waves in cold weather.

You have no idea how to tell a toddler there is no milk.

How it feels to have cravings you can’t stop.

You have no idea how much you mean to me! I may not be able to touch you.

You have no idea the distance between people who love each other,

Of the struggle with raising kids, not a piece of cake.

You have no idea how much I have sacrificed in migration.

You have no idea - how do I explain to you!
