He Said She Said Poem

Purpose

Author Mute

We did what we were told We did what we were told

We fought We fought

We killed We killed

I survived I survived

How can I survive? How can I survive?

I don’t know

But I will try to pass by

I have to keep fighting

I write I can’t write

I can’t think

I can’t move

I can’t talk

I’m on my own I’m on my own

I have no where to go

No place to eat

No money

No friends

No job

My life is in my hands My life is in their hands

Yesterday was easy

Today is hard

Tomorrow will be harder Tomorrow? I don’t know...

My pencil keeps me going

I write today

For tomorrow

To fight for my life
