In the land of terror
A girl cannot speak her mind
She only sees darkness in the air
She cannot read her own mind
In the land of war
A girl lost in her own thoughts
She faces the future with fear
The darkness fits her aching heart
In the land of fadeless dreams
A girl cannot be herself
For her, nothing is real
Nothing is possible
And her youth is an expansion of despair
In the land of terror
A girl cannot dream
She only knows the eternal gleam
In the land of despair
A girl is worn out, exhausted
But still with a sparkle in her heart
She quietly shouts for freedom and joy

I like this I might not be a prisoner in war but i feel the same pain I relate to it
I wish you peace.
