• They took away
    Our fun and games
    Did they not see
    We were still
    Mere children?

    They took away so much,
    Our escape,
    Our happiness,
    Our hope...
    And yet
    They still expected
    The impossible

    But how were we
    To make it through
    When we had no
    Hope,
    No happiness
    To draw forth the
    Effort,
    The energy
    To do what
    They wanted?

    Did you forget
    That we are still
    Children

    Did you forget
    That these are
    The last few years we have
    To live freely,
    Unchained,
    With no responsibilities
    Or harsh demands
    Or reprimands?
