I tried...

I stride in this room,
Knowing I can,
Do so freely,
Outside it feels like doom,
Coming onto me,
I remember when I ran,
It wouldn't come easily,
I wanted to pray,
But then I remembered,
I'd lost faith,
Just because I can,
Became another person,
Foooled nobody,
I was just too sensitive,
Became another man,
Then the guns began to strafe,
I had to hide,
From all I could,
All I wanted to do was live,
Took everything in my stride,
You know I would,
I'd take you with me,
You can say I tried,
I will drag you away,
From what causes this,
If only you understood,
Why I left to see,
What can be done,
So for today,
Take this kiss,
Because I am brave,
And taking this all,
To the grave.
