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.
