When my heart was breaking And the air was cold There was no one left for me to hold They were taken from me In the dead of night We were all shaking from fright When our whole world was ripped apart They took us somewhere for a new start Camps and farms They sold us one by one Vermin and pigs That was our new name It just wasn't the same But I stayed hopeful That is the only thing to do And I helped those around me too I had hope that one day I'll go I'll go home and live back in my house I'd have a family with the love of my life And that gave me hope It helped me live through
The inspiration for this poem is two things. The first is the book "Between Shades of Grey" and the second is the quote, "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
