Friends

What does this really mean? Guys why life is like this? I love my friends Those who accepted me the way I am and couldn’t judge my weakness but instead helped me in changing and were ready to defend me no matter how wrong I could be Now they are taken away from me Now I am alone again and no one on my side Selfish people can’t understand what I mean but only sociable ones can

Right in your hands That very hard night Because I am your child That time we had a chance to turn a page and the only way to get out of the stupid town. Bang bang bang Trrrack trrrack Krack krack krack Those are the sounds we heard behind us as we were running away Oh my goodness Now I understand the meaning of refugee in Kiswahili. Mkimbizi Meaning a runner We need peace
