The Souls Who Survived

Today here in this place
my soul wanted to go
away; today the fire of
hope left this place.
Things were so hard to
bare but thank you God
for always being there.
My soul wanted to die,
but then I thought you know
what, I want to survive this
place. My heart you can
not buy, no matter how
hard you try my soul will
never die. So many prayers
went unheard, so many
tears that never went away.
So much kept hidden deep
within, but now there’s no
one else, so I will have to
make sure no one forgets
this dark period of time.
So many hearts taking away,
today here in this hell on earth,
and yet so many of us still pray.
Lord knows how much of are
blood has covered this small
space of earth. These tears
I cry are the tears of my father,
the tears of my mother, these
tears I cry are the tears of my
sister, these tears I cry are the
tears for all who didn’t survive.
I, only I survived but now I live
for all who died.
