I had never intended any of this to happen
All I ever wanted was to escape
To have the chance to see the radiance of the sunlight, one last time
But ever since the war, everything was taken away from me; my friends, my family, my home and above all my memory
Everyday I wake up thinking that I was about to relive every second of it
I can't- I don't want any of it
I feel as if my mind has taken control of my reality
Anywhere I look I see them
I see lifeless corpses of former classmates
Ravens hovering around a child's dead body and picking out what was left of it
The worse part was that I couldn't look away
No matter how hard I tried, I simply couldn't do anything
Years have passed and I admit that I'm not good at names or faces
I cannot tell whether or not the things I do were deemed right or wrong anymore
Its times like this that make it hard for me to recall anything
All I could remember that day were the never ending cries of sorrow
I wished that they could have taken me
I wished that I were dead
The fact that I lived through it all may have been the biggest mistake that I have ever committed in my forever miserable, disatisfied life
