Clouds form in the sky,
As I lay here and die,
Can anyone hear me?
Or am I all alone?
What did I do to deserve this?
The lingering pain I feel,
As I watch in terror,
While a pool of blood forms,
The rain drops fall,
On my vacant body,
I am gone from this world,
Even though I never wanted to leave,
But I didn’t get to choose my fate,
Someone else did that,
When they picked up the gun,
Not caring who they killed,
All they wanted was to be known,
Did it have to be in such a way?
Did he really need to kill,
To be recognized?
I wake from this dream,
Never wanting to go back,
To that dreadful place,
Where a life can be taken,
And no one notices,
Or tries to stop it
