Is it wrong to rejoice despite all the coming sorrow? Is it wrong to be in today and look to tomorrow? Do I sin by wanting to go on? Despite those never to see the dawn. Does one commit a crime to want to forget the pain? Can I see in the mirror who I’ve become yet be sane? If I do not wish to speak for my fallen friend Because I only want to deny she’s dead. If I push away those I love because I don’t want them to see my grief If I won’t cry because that’s the only fight I can put up against belief. Am I in trouble to hope for love even knowing some hearts will never stir? Will I be punished for my memories, when the bad are clear and the good blur? Is it wrong to refuse to be beaten when I know I will never win? Where do I go wrong by turning away the future for what has been? Is it bad to live in the moment for the ones who never got to? Is it an error to tell my self lies when I cannot face the truth? Am I mistaken to add my voice to peace though my kindred were silenced by war? I guess I am criminal because my brothers gave their lives and for me that’s too far. I should go to hell because my sisters died for what they believe in and I can only cry. Wicked I guess I am because I will support my countrymen but I won’t fight their fight. Is it wrong that I will sacrifice to be free but not for love or my country? Put me in jail, if I protest your views because I want change, for I am guilty. What makes every child different but our experiences same? Where do these people become cool and the others just stay lame? Am I illicit to call myself a freedom fighter? Should I die for my sagas while calling myself writer? Where do I cross the line between the right and wrong? What’s a mere child to do while she tries to be strong? Flawed at birth because first all babies cry, but I laugh. Disgrace to write my destiny, and erase the past? Who are we to judge one another, and how can we tell what’s right. I don’t know where to turn so I’ll start with getting thru the night. |
