War came suddenly into my life
and changed the world I knew .
There was no choice just acceptance
of what we had to go through .
Because there was no choice
I felt war had cheated and robbed me .
Then I decided not to be a victim ,
but to be free.
But first I had to question everything
I saw taking place .
War's an awful situation
each day that you have to face .
I felt like asking someone
why did this have to happen here .
But no one would have heard ,
they were too busy dealing with fear .
I felt angry and thought ,
if only I could change how it was .
The injustice and oppression
of all those who made the laws .
I felt sorrow and bitter
and it was hard to let it go .
I lost innocence within me
that had just started to grow .
I watched places around me explode
and then burn to the ground .
I saw innocent people getting bashed up
and pushed around
I understood why some took up the gun
but what could I do .
I escaped the war ,
they said I was one of the lucky few .
