Scared of Me

Barbed wire keeping us in

It's cold, especially when there is no coal

We wait in line for food

Even then it's never good

There are guards with big guns

I used to wave at them till brother said not to

Father got taken away at the beginning

Mother cries in the back of the barracks

I wish we could leave, go back to the city

Before the government ripped us away

Before I was a stranger in my own country
