War, by soul_sista Subscribe to rss feed for soul_sista

Guns blazing, enemies gazing,
People dying in the street, others trying to make ends
meet.
Families are waiting to hear, but everyday they live in
fear.
Every night I would dream, that the war was over, or so it
would seem, and when I wake up I just want to scream.
There is nowhere to go, and I wish I could know, if
daddy’s dead, because every night I hear him in my head-
‘Its alright, its going to be okay,’
But daddy no, not today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just found out that daddy’s dead, and now that voice is
gone from my head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now momma’s gone, papa too and now I don’t know what to
do.
I’m all alone, nowhere to go,
Sometimes I just wish that I know
What happened to momma
What happened to papa
What happened to daddy
What happened to brother
Life is unfair, so please don’t stare,
When you see a young girl trying to bare with the loss of
family, her hopes, her dreams, because not everything is
what it may seem. 
I thought we were safe, that everything would be okay,
I thought our love would stay together true and as light as
a soufflé,
Full of hope dreams family and love, how wrong I was it flew
away like a dove. 
I wondered how I would make the ride, of life without momma
and daddy by my side, but somehow I made it through, god
must have sent an angel, because I still stayed true.
