Sounds
of a
guilty
silence
a question in school
I was asked in school
if I feel superior over others
because I have survived Holocaust
(question came from a 10 year old girl)
I thought awhile examining it in my mind
at the end I concluded
that, in some way, yes
I don't break in difficult moments
I never forget
that once I had it worse and survived
I am indeed unfortunate in being an orphan
but I posses riches beyond the pictures in my soul
of the horrible years
greatest sacrifices
love ---
