Theory
What is this war; should I flee
a desperate plea,
ferocious cries
watered, but a dead tree
what is this war with the loud gun
when all I hear is ''run!''
as if there's danger?
when I'm just sitting, unbothered, in the sun
what is this darkness when all I see is life
an unknown imagining a fight
who is this villain?
with tantrums; evil yet a might
why are buildings burning, people-dead
while I lie on the floor-unsaid
"oh look she doesn't care!"
I do, should I know to go where? oh!
the unsaid emotions, the demanding flow
it's all in my head, all, my feelings low
no war, no villain, no fire, no words
I just lay there lifeless, with life, but dead
