Harry Wilson Poet Lyric

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.
