One day suddenly my school got closed,

I thought it was my vacation dose.

I happily came back home,

But adults stood silent—like time froze.

 

My father kept watching the news,

Those moving screens always confused.

They spoke of a war far away,

Big words I didn’t know how to use.

 

I started to celebrate my days,

But outside, fear filled every face.

Jets crossed the sky every noon,

And everyone was scared to look up at that space.

 

After a month, I missed my friend,

School holidays refused to end.

I wanted to play, to laugh once more,

But another notice came—delayed again.

 

The situation grew worse each day,

People were losing trust along the way.

The sky turned dark with smoke and fear,

Like a movie scene—but danger was near.

 

Every minute, a terrifying sound,

Big buildings burned all around.

Now I knew what was going on,

Phones went silent—no one responded anymore.

 

One day our area was targeted,

Everyone ran, so did I—terrified.

In that rush, I lost their hands,

And suddenly, I was walking alone.

 

Poisonous smoke erased my sight,

I couldn’t find my parents anywhere in fright.

Losing hope, I sat on the ground,

Until somehow… they traced me out.

 

We lost everything—home and things,

Not just me, but all my surroundings.

The war slowly came to an end,

But in my mind, those pictures never fade.
