Analysis of 'The Emigrée'

There was once a country called my country, I remember its walls and the smell of its streets. I remember the sunlight on its river and the sound of voices in the markets. Sometimes, I dream of that place, with its gold-tipped trees and its endless blue sky. But now, I am in a new place, and I see the world through a different lens. My memories are like shadows, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, but always present. I hold onto these memories as if they are treasures, yet I know they are only illusions. The city outside is bustling and loud, yet I feel a quiet longing for my homeland, a place I can never return to. Still, I keep the memory alive inside me, a flame that guides me through the darkness.
