"open Wounds"

Awaken by lights flashing and sirens loud He looked out the window and all he saw was a crowd He runs down the stairs hoping not to fall Suffering from a headache…you know the type from alcohol He opens his front door and runs across the street He saw a body laying under a sheet He asked his neighbors what is going on They told him his friend was shot in the head and he is gone He said to himself this cant be He was just with his friend before he had gone to sleep He cries on his way back across the street Thinking about how life without his friend is going to be As looks for the dog tags they got when they were ten He noticed something strange on his hands and skin Then images flashing over and over again Of the last night he spent with his friend Vowing to never drink alcohol again Written by: Leeroy Rasean Bowman-Palmer November 7,2010
