Khin Thandar Aung
War
Flying bullets dropped by my side.
Barking sounds like millions of popping corn.
Fear made me lose hope.
I ran away from the death-path.
I forgot to take off my school bag.
My final exam has drawn near.
Only in sunlight can I study.
I felt starvation with little food.
Chilly winds made me miss my blanket.
Murmuring attacked the horrible silent night.
I fell asleep with fear.
I dreamed of a ceasefire.
I learned peacefully in the classroom.
I have dinner with plenty of food.
A boom blast illuminated the dark.
A cold sweat woke me up.
