I duck
I hide
In the treacherous mountainside
I think I am safe
But not for long
Ever since this war
In my own country I feel
I do not belong
My heart is full of fear
The danger is getting near
My family is gone
My parents are dead
The corpses of my children
I left in dread
Why these soldiers continue to fight?
Little by little
Our country is losing sight
I hear noises
Then a BAM
I have been shot
I will struggle, like a weak lamb
I begin to cry
It doesn't matter
I'm going to die
As I struggle to live
I let out a scream
Maybe I can pretend
It is all a dream
Years from now
Historians will say
"She died in pain
Freedom, she sought"
Maybe I'm going to a better place
Maybe not
