Run child run
Don't dare turn back
The unknown may catch up with you
Flee child flee
Time can be cruel
You never know how it might treat you
Fly away fly
Innocence doesn't last
Danger can lurk at every corner
Scream child scream
Let your voice be heard in the void
Words can have great power
Cry child cry
There is no shame in shedding tears
Pain is an unfortunate part of life
Laugh child laugh
Joy can be found anywhere
Not all places are completely dark
Breathe child breathe
There is always hope
Fear doesn't have to last forever

Survival seemed out of reach.
