When I was at school, I read the Diary of Anne Frank. Her bravery in the face of persecution has stayed with me because I was also thirteen. The same age she was when she went into hiding.
I am told we need to flee our home
with my family I don’t feel so alone
Kindness shown to keep us free
writing in my diary to find a braver me
