Poem
On this night.... Screaming and yelling is all I can hear I want to get up, But fear reappears I swiftly close my eyes But can't fall asleep I hear a series of shots, From across the street Once again, It's just like before I rise to my feet , Then drop to the floor Shaky legs, And Watery eyes Praying prayers, I just want to survive Bloodstained spots,Yellow tape surrounding Broken fragments of glass,Who's underneath The blanket of death One cough, One whisper,One last little breath Family and friends so violently wept Rants of revenge, Are bellowing near Frightened eyes, shed clouds of tears Into the night I slip away But not so quiet return at day I blankly stare upon the walls My breath escapes into a fog A not so quiet day like this I feel as if I don't exist It's kind of late into the game, But life goes on, Its all the same A drink or drug could never heal, What's happening is still so real, You can't imagine how this feels A broken heart, A wounded soul Swollen lips, Dead body cold A second, A day , A breaths taken away A minute, An hour, A loss of human power Every month and every week So many more lives are taken quickly Is time running out, Are eyes going blind? Are ears going deaf? Will there be anything left? My heart's in remission to end it right here My body's positioned to stand up to fear Existence is determined, The struggle against defeat The time is coming up so fast, Into the night I weep From the moment we arrived,Terror increased Now is the time for us to pack up and leave A hard look at our life, Has made us sober We have no choice but to start over My family and I lived through nightmare after nightmare in our old apartments for 3 years and just 2 years ago, we moved. Thank God he made a way out for us to escape safely.
