I Remember
I remember the cold, so harsh it hurt to breathe
I remember the fear, eating away at a little girl
I remember a father teaching his daughter to fight with a blade
Why should we be the ones to pay?
All we ever did was grow up
Innocent, curious, human.
We were born into this world
Through no fault of our own.
Our only sin is living.
So why do we pay their debts?
Do you remember when-
finding a penny made you rich?
you just had to know how to count to 100?
you actually got toys on Christmas?
your parents picked what you wore?
