The Pain of Life

by Hanan Abikar aged 11

What is life?
How do you live life?

People have their ways
Some are lost and confused
Others know the path of heart
While some go with the flow.

But I’m not sure how to do it
Does it come with a manual or do you do it yourself

It’s like I’ve been left in the dark
Too lost and too scared to find out where I am

Life gets me worried
I don’t know where to start
I’ve had loads of advice
But I don’t understand any of it

The path is not there
I just need a sign to lead me
A vision, an instruction

Life is too hard for me to understand

Life makes me cry in lonely nights

Life a word that makes me scream from the deepest pits of my heart

Why, why?
Why do we live like this with the pain and confusion?

It’s like a knife through my heart to blocked to remove
That is my type of life.
