It's Not My Fault

"Its not my fault! I didn't do it! Its not my fault! I didn't go through it" The crowd is yelling And pushing and grabbing Some one just hit What for? What for! "I didn't do it Its not my fault I didn't do it Why are you all so cross?" "Its all your fault, You lying thief! Its all your fault Bring her to me!" The man commanded and they all reached for me "I didn't do it It wasn't me! Its not my fault Please BELIEVE ME!!!" I pushed and shoved Away from hand That kept on reaching Grabbing me And then exploded a gunfire And all went quite and still The voice that spoke Shook the earth "She didn't do it. She wasn't there The one you seek Is me who speaks I hid away To hide my shame But after your cruelty I knew it was wrong She didn't do it She wasn't there The one you seek Is I who speaks" They stared in amusement Their mouths open wide "Will will not hurt her And you neither. You showed us our Wrong ways You saved a life We're sorry if we hurt you King of our lives." They turned around and hurried away I smiled at the king Who smiled at me "Speak"

It took me two reads to understand what was going on during the gunfire part. I think you meant the guy that fired the gun to be the same person that speaks, but it doesn't really sound that way. Anyway, I feel you rushed the end a bit, but I love the story you're telling =)  -KMD
