Dear Future

I know how it feels to sleep with an empty stomach. I know how it feels to have nothing. I know how it feels to be rejected by my own neighbours. I know that painful feeling of hearing them saying "there she comes, hide your plates." I know the pain of going to school with bare foot I know the pain of losing my loved ones. Now Dear future, Let there be no more sorrows. No more death. Please be nice.
