They went through
Hell
because of what
They believed in
 
People killed
For “fun”
One shot
Two shots
Threes shots
And they’re
Gone

People with
Stomachs as empty
As his heart

They didn’t choose
This war
Yet some survived
And have retold
Their past
Living their life
Full of dreams

So because of drama
I shouldn’t be complaining
Because I can’t han
An iPhone
I should not say
My life is over
Because I can’t have
What I want
Doesnt
Means my life is a
Living hell

I shouldn’t let the things
I want take over
The things I
Have
