I walk.
I walk along a road,
houses on either side,
friendly faces plastered on the windows,
as the genocide began.
I walk along a road,
bodies on either side,
blood splattered on the windows,
as we walked out of our city.
I walk along a road,
refugees on either side,
no more smiles, no more words,
as we walked on fire.
I walk along a road,
carrying everything we have on our backs,
no place to rest, no place to settle,
no place to call home.
I walk along a road,
all alone,
my family gone,
wandering the endless voids in my mind.
I walk along a road,
forced to work on every turn,
never resting, never stopping,
hunger, rain, work.
I walk along a road,
forced into a living robot,
I must keep living,
I cannot die.
I walk along a road,
I am tormented,
I am in agony,
I am hurt,
I survived.

Lyrics:
Torment
Heart skips a beat,
Life is a feat,
Living in my own mad mind.
Words in my head,
That were unsaid,
Drowning under the weight.
Can you hear the voice of my past.
The voice of my father,
The voice of my mother,
The voice of my sister,
The voice of my brother.
Rivers run with blood,
Staining the stones,
Where are the people of my past.
I can’t let go,
I won’t lose hold,
In the fear of never coming back.
Can you hear the voice of my past.
The voice of my city,
The voice of my family,
The voice of my country,
The voice of my life.
Keep walking,
Forward,
Never know - ing where to go.
I’m alone, no one to call.
Holding on, Holding on,
Holding on, slipping away.
Holding on, holding on,
Holding on, Slipping away.
Heart skips a beat,
Life is a feat,
Living in my own mad mind.
