By Emma 
I wait here for the promise that I was given
I am waiting for my food
I hear people crying
And I can’t go outside as I’m alone
I hear the thunder of jets
The sound of bombs hitting the ground
I am really afraid as to what I should do
I really think I should go out
But I can’t break the promise I gave
I feel the hunger rising
And the pain of my bleeding legs
I have been waiting for 3 days now
I really wonder why mom hasn’t returned
Now I know…
I see my mom dressed in white
I see her smiling at me
Oh, how I wish!
Wish I could join her soon
Just like she has joined with dad and my brother
I only wish to die
Only then I will be saved from this hell.
