Poem
Have you seen what I've seen Going out and ending up in the middle of this terrible scene I have nowhere to run Because everywhere I turn, I hear the shot of a gun I run and I run but have nowhere to hide Because there's a body lying around every turn The body is just another victim of a life denied Caught up in the game and their life got burned The body's lying there with blood pulling from each and every way There I'm left standing scared, scarred, and with nothing to say I'm tired of living within these walls The walls of the life of worrying is my life going to be over before God calls I wish all of this would soon be over Because this is a life that I don't love I know my mom also wishes this to be over Because this isn't the life she dreamed of This is the life no child should be living in Seeing people get killed over some colors If I stay here, this is how my life will end And I don't plan to kill and not give a care about the life of others If heaven was a mile away I'll leave with the clothes on my back The shoes on my feet will help walk away And there will be no turning back No more dead bodies No more waking up at night from hearing gun shots No more thugs and gangstas scaring me No more being afraid of walking home praying that the next person is me not No more being afraid of staring down the barrel of a gun No more being afraid of being a child and having fun I want to be in a place where there's less crying Where I can't see no more bodies laying dying I want to be in a place where there's no pain No feelings of frightness of being slained I want to be free Free to wear all the colors my mother brought me
