Dear migrant
Dear migrant,
know you are enough.
Know that you were enough
when you left the place
where you were born,
and you are still enough today,
wherever you are.
Dear migrant,
know that you’ll be enough
wherever you live.
Know that your value is not attached
to a place, or a passport, or a job,
not even a good relationship
and definitely not a bad one.
Dear migrant,
you are doing enough.
Trying hard enough,
working enough,
working out enough.
You are enough as you are,
with exactly that weight, that color,
and no matter which bodies you prefer to
love. They are also enough.
Dear migrant,
enough is enough.
Don’t let them convince you
that you are less than enough.
Don’t let them judge you or trick you
into believing that you are not doing enough.
Enough is enough.
And believe me,
what you are doing is
fine, sufficient, enough.
Dear migrant,
you are not only enough but, you
are smart, competent, decent,
brave, brilliant, and resilient.
