Learned To Live

To live is to learn Words spoken without compassion Only orders dictators I can hear Sentenced without testimony My voice never to be heard These are the memories my memories since childhood Don't speak unless spoken to To be someone else just for today My mother begins to push me on a swing Loving me her smile begins to say The days come to pass more easily I learned to live in a life I've created the day pretend.
