I seek not retribution for all that life has done
… only anonymity for all I have become.
I have conquered my anger that raged so very long
now I listen to the passing wind and the early morning songs.
Once I would smile wide every breaking day
life seemed so very short, so many games that I could play.
Then my world just began to burn, pain was everywhere
I wanted to run away, but I was just too scared.
Every day more horrors shared, others falling all around
I listened to their screams and cries, every single sound.
The images that burned so deep into my fragile mind
till I forgot of love, forgot to be kind.
Now I have returned to rest, my past life far away
now I can find some peace, a quieter place to sit and pray.
I seek not retribution, just the chance to live again
a time to rest my mind from all that's so insane.
