The world has lost its colors
And all that's left is grey
The sky no longer seems to be
A beautiful blue display
The birds no longer sing their song
And the flowers no longer bloom
The laughter that once filled the air
Has now become a distant tune
The days now seem so endless
The nights so dark and cold
The world that once was vibrant
Now feels so empty and old
The tears flow like a river
As I mourn what's been lost
The pain that grips my heart
Seems too great to exhaust
Oh, how I wish for brighter days
For happiness and cheer
But now all that's left is sadness
And a heart that's full of fear.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
