Running, running, running.
Scream and don't look back.
Bombs echoing overhead,
Fireworks of antiaircrafts.
Embers fall on crumpled bodies,
And cascade into pools of crimson liquid,
There lie teardrops too.

In my mind,
World War Three replays over and over.
For though my life is not very chaotic to you,
To me, it seems no one else has any freaking idea...

Just frustration, since I'm going through something that a majority of the kids I tell don't have to go through daily.
