The humiliating registration, the remoteness of the accommodation, and now the long list of regulation, none of it matched the freedom I had held in my mind back inside prison. The physical walls and barbed wires that used to limit my freedom now turned into invisible forces serving the same purpose to keep me prisoner in this land. It was like releasing a bird from a cage and cutting its wings and expecting it to fly. Personal Essay, Memoir. Rezaie, Hussain Shah. "The Invisible Barbed Wire." the archipelago, 15 September 2022, https://www.thearchipelago.org/the-invisible-barbed-wire/.

Overtime I have gained the courage to look back at the world through the words unfolding here before your eyes. Landing on the right word became my line of survival – my way of fighting back the invisible barbed wire that has limited my physical freedom. And it has given me the tools to define my identity as a refugee. I started to see myself as a writer before a refugee. / Seiring waktu, aku mendapatkan keberanian menengok dunia lewat kata-kata yang diungkapkan di sini di depanmu. Menemukan kata yang tepat menjadi urat nadi pertahanan hidupku. Caraku melawan kawat berduri tak kasatmata yang telah membatasi kebebasan lahiriahku. Dan ini memberiku semacam perangkat untuk menjelaskan identitasku sebagai pengungsi. Aku mulai melihat diriku sebagai penulis terlebih dulu sebelum sebagai pengungsi. Personal Essay, Memoir. Rezaie, Hussain Shah. "The Invisible Barbed Wire." the archipelago, 15 September 2022, https://www.thearchipelago.org/the-invisible-barbed-wire/.
