Want

"WANT" I want the world, I use to have so long ago I'm trying hard, yet it's so slow I don't smile like I use to I cry more now from the pain inside The scars of war are like abuse You can heal from the physical pain Yet not from the mental pain Your trust of people is not there no more Oh, what a cost, this damn war There are days when I just want to be alone No one around, no T.V. Or phones I just want to find my zone I will walk and wonder why Then I realized all I did was cry Oh, please someone break this hold Grab me and pull me from my soul I want to be in a tranquil life, where no one fights Just give me BACK MY LIFE.
