I don’t know how to come up to you
Wish I knew how to look you in the eye
And maybe some day I’ll be brave enough
To ask you what it’s really like
How you keep your guard so strong
And the hatred hid away
With the separate so indifferent
How you made it past the days
Do you clasp on to things you’re given
Or let it slip off the palm of your hands
Do you always follow what you’re told to do
Or do you live by your own commands
How do you keep so independent
Living under a double empire
How do you bear with the all orders
From quarreling monarchs miles higher
Do you eventually grow used
To the betrayal and the pain
Do you ever find yourself
Trapped in thoughts of vain
Hoping they would see you better
Or see you standing there at all
Beneath the towering battlefield
Does it ever make you feel small
I wish that you would invite me in
To the unlit corner of your life
The only perspective that I would trust
Is from a juvenile victim’s eyes
Author notes
I wanna understand... i'm willing to listen... and i unlike many others will understand, i won't think you are weak, or anythign that i am... cause you arent!! But you could tell me what it's like... and i really wanna know...

I like this alot. Understanding is something that comes with wisdom at times. I think perhaps if you look within your self you may find it. Thank you for sharing.
