Running Through My Veins
BANG!
A loud shot in my ears.
POW!
I can’t hear.
All the things around me dissapear.
My head fills with black,
My hands go so numb.
What was that?
A shot to my back
Is what that was.
A mystery solved
In a matter of seconds.
This shot would kill me
But I have to stand up.
Looking around
With eyes so blurry.
I can’t see but I still hurry.
Hurrying to the spot,
The place,
Anywhere other than this.
I can’t stay here,
But my body turns to abis.
Everything black.
Can’t move a muscle.
I knew I had to hustle.
Why was I the one to get shot?
Why was I the one who ought
To run out of this place and find
Somewhere else?
I was the only survivor.
I’d rather die than live with
This pain.
It will haunt me forever,
Running through my veins.
