CREATE
Innocence was stolen like a thief
Experiencing it is just a brief
Once innocence is traded into reality,
Life will treat you miserably
Holding tight is the key
If they want to survive and save their family
Is it okay to set free their freedom or reclaim it?
Choices that made their system shaken bit by bit
Happiness is something that you trade with something
After the euphoric memories, disastrous life comes
Will break you and give you a sting
Is it worth it after all the slams?
Birds chirp, the sun rises
Time is spending like normal days
Passing days never assured
That their life will be secured
Family, for the risk of danger
Friends that make them stronger
Will they able to conquer?
The war that to them is bigger.
