In this post, I will share my harrowing experience of attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea for the fourth time in search of a better life. Each time, my hopes were dashed as our boat capsized and we were left clinging to debris in the middle of the sea, fighting for survival.
Despite the risks and the dangers, I was willing to take the chance again and again, desperate to escape the violence and poverty in my home country. The journey was treacherous, with smugglers cramming us onto overcrowded boats with little regard for our safety.
But each time, we were met with tragedy as the boat sank and we were left to fend for ourselves in the unforgiving waters. I watched as my fellow passengers, some of them children, struggled to stay afloat and cried out for help that never came.
It was a miracle that I survived each time, but the trauma of those experiences still haunts me. The fear of drowning, of being swallowed by the vast expanse of the sea, still grips me in my nightmares.
I write this post not to seek sympathy or pity, but to shed light on the plight of those who risk everything to seek refuge on the world’s deadliest migration route. We are not statistics or faceless migrants – we are human beings with dreams and aspirations, just like anyone else.
I hope that by sharing my story, others will understand the desperation that drives people to take such risks, and that we can work together to create a safer, more humane world for all. Until then, I will continue to carry the weight of those failed attempts on my shoulders, a constant reminder of the lengths I was willing to go to in search of a better life.
