I am 14 so young... I was born in America and lived here Until I was 10. Then I went to Iraq, I am a orphan and my adoptive parents were military. My mom a transolater and my dad a solider. They went a day before me, when I arrived I was informed that their SUV was blown up by a IED, nobody made it. I know was a orphan again on a military base. I was taken in quickly by a Arab orphanage for I was not high priority to get to the states.
I knew Arabic from my mom and made friends in the village quickly... I was getting over my parents deaths. One day at 12 years old I was with my best friend Iffat when a man came out of a store shooting at some soldiers behind us. They hit Iffat, she died in my arms. I went back to the orphanage and saw her empty bed and I still cry. The next day after 3 years of delay was sent home.
How do these soldiers do it, I see those soldiers cry, I see them so hurt and scared. How are they willingly there. I can't walk down a street with out being on guard that i will be shot. I want to die I can be with my mom and dad and Iffat. I can't hear a pop with out seeing Iffat's lifeless body on the street. I see ghosts and these are only some.
I just want the pain of war to stop,
