Hopefully Safe

As I stare at the curtains

Wishing I can go on the other side

I'm only 10

and its been 4 years since I've been outside

I listen to the gunshots

They are heard from all around

This is the only spot

Where I stay in town

And hopefully I will not be found

I am afraid

I look at my family across the room

And I look at the place that we stayed

The time before the big boom

I wish that I could go home

To the place that I've always known

Mom have you seen how much I've grown

See how I've been on my own

The Nazis were defeated

We are saved

The way we were treated

Should not be tolerated

I am a Jew

And you may be one too

I'm glad it's not you

Who knows the actual truth
