A Syrian child of only 4 yrs old, thought the photographers
camera was a gun so he raised his hands in Fear. So I wrote;
- Tears of Terror -
- Tears of Terror -
Living
in Fear, I'm TERRIFIED
I want to sleep through the night
But I'm too scared
My eyes open wide
It's been like this since the day I was born
This is my Reality
This is my norm'
One day I asked my mom, "Where is my sister?"
She said she's gone to heaven
And I really miss her
We never go to school, so we'll never learn
What it's like to get an education
All we feel is the burn
I hear the explosion of another bomb
I run outside and now
I can't find my mom
My dad has been gone since I was about two
A victim of Violence
Now I don't know what to do
The family around me
Everybody is dying
Now I'm standing here alone
And I can't stop crying
