The New Beginning
April 3, 2013
My life seems as if it was boxed away, tied to a rock and let out to sea.
If I try and break it I will rise again.
Not all should be punished
but not all should be free.
Our families were taken and split apart.
Not all is good.
Not all is bad.
As I sit here thinking, I know I'll die of disease or hunger.
We're tortured and seen so much yet still young.
Everyday is closer to my death.
Will I, or anyone, bother to help, help break everyone's rock?
Just as I kiss the world good-bye,
as I die and escape away,
off to a new world as I pray.
