Charter of rights Numbers 3&4
Each day is excruciating.
Hours after hours weighs like chains upon my soul making it impossible to want to keep going.
I cry out in agonizing pain.
Tears trail down my face quietly not making a sound.
What about me?
Am I not one that deserves to live in freedom and safety?
Where does it say I’m another’s property?
Sleeping is unheard of as I lie awake at night with terror coursing through my body.
Bombs and gunshots sound so close, I want to run.
Save me please… Somebody.
Hear my silent plea, where my mouth barely moves and words hardly sound above a whisper.
I’m Human too!
Somewhere far away a voice wants to scream from the back of my head.
To break this stranglehold and to live like I’ve done something for myself…
Hiding is out of the question.
They’ll find me and take away even more than I already have.
A sleepless night is welcomed by absurd labour not my own.
As birds chirp beautiful melodies on trees so tall, my face pointed towards the sky, I wonder to myself if there’s something better than this caged life I live now.
~ Everyone no matter who they are has the Right to live in freedom and safety as well as not to be another’s property.
