Looking Back
My Mind is full of worried thoughts as I listen to the loud explosions of bombs destroying the city. As the buildings crash down and the windows smash.
I see people scared as they run to escape the falling buildings and soldiers marching loudly shooting their weapons.
My nose is filled with smoke and dust from the fire as the building continue to be destroyed. I can hear and see families crying all around me. They seem to be running for their lives. There are people that are injured and stumbling.
When I look back I see everyone filled with sadness. I close my eyes and feel the blinding sight of black, while hearing the sound of a gun shooting.
My Treasure
As the soldiers burn my house down I snatch for my gold cross that my auntie gave me. A precious gift all the way from Dubai, the gift that makes me feel calm and no longer on my own.
