Can i escape?

"
From the time we open our littel eyes we carry such joy and fear. Our parenta carry us and lokk at is with administrasjon and fear on what this jeans for their future. Mabey they are happy, manet the are worrid, mabey they are terrefid but their is this silent aggrement thet they are going to tåke care og is for their lives. They spend crazy money on the hospital vistit and will spend more money on our first birtday, our batist and the future thet lies. 
By the time the child is four, they have a lot and debt but they are happy. Their are familes worst off, familie from overse are helping and evryone is happy. The child grows up having to ser the parents stuggel so they try their best to make themselves som adult like, they help around the house and get good enouf grades to make ut troug but not frest beacsue if they do too great there are consecoenses. While seeing poverty eyes to syes they grow a dislike to the unfairness and they want to wander, they want to protect their famile, while they dident nessesaireyl have the best time growing up, they dont have the knowlega what it means and how their mentality affects their lifes. 
They leave their parents to wander to a foreign place they only have heard of. They could die on the way their, taken to prison, be sent back, die from poverty, die from anything but their is only hope is that may the find the pl ce they h ve vern promised. A place where evryone is equal, where evryone is fred to do and sau what they want. Free to be what they wnat to be. They leave a prison to an equla terrefiying place to become the person they see themselvs. 
They dont understand, where is the land where evryone is equal, where are the money they have been promised, whre is the comfort and stabelness they were promised. The langues is hard, tbey are falling behind, they search for someone that are like them, realetives. The help, everyting is diffrent. Evryone looks sad, people are staring and pressuer is hard. You are expected to make a lot of money to send to realtevis. They expect you to help. 
Years go by, you have a job. You have a house, you seen your parents and you got a wife and childre that dotes on you. Is this the life you saw for yourself? You want something more, you want see your parents more often, you know that the time is cliking and ut pains ypu that ypu want to go to the same place you call a prison. On the ørner side og the fence are the people that have influenced you, people that are stuck. People tnat dont havr the privileges that you have and you want to go bact to ty dayes where evrything feelt small? 
What kind of person are you, to be so lucky to have escaped. You are free, you are a hero, you have helpt many people 
but did you escape at all?
