World
Kai Gajilan Fowler, 10
Bright, so bright
But Lonely, and tired.
Lonely
Lonely from being isolated for so long
Tired
Tired of being bruised and battered and scarred
And yet
Bright, so bright,
The fight is bright,
Filled with light
But stressed, and fretting.
Stressed
Stressed for surviving any longer with pain inflicted every touch
Fretting
Fretting for the sake of lives
And yet
Bright, so bright,
Tonight is bright
Filled with light
But crying, and calling.
Crying
Crying from burns and scrapes
Calling
Calling for others, others alike, others who don’t hear
And yet
Bright, so bright
The world is bright
Filled with light
And trying with all of its strength,
Trying for us
Trying for the others alike
Trying with hope at heart
Hope
Hope for us
Hope for them
Hope, for all.
