There is a war that we cannot see
There is a war that we cannot hear
But, there is a war we can feel
We live through it each day
And each day proposes new dangers
Adults do not feel what we feel
They think we are weak
They think we cannot do anything
But we are soldiers fighting
An Invisible War

I was watching a movie when it started talking about a war some kids face each day and they manage to get through it. Adults never understood what they had to go through.
