Why Me
May 19, 2010
Waking up to gun shots;
One, two, three, ten,
Sweating until I drown in my fear.
Waking up to a SWAT team,
Benevolent and still bodies,
Strong and sturdy as the hold branches as guns.
Tears roll, noses run, vomit emerges,
The men in the suits wearing masks,
To hide from the evils emerging.
My heart swells as my lungs close,
The grasp for air isn’t clear and the stone cold love is not near.
Why does this happen to me?
So innocent and gullible,
Bountiful with beauty in the mind and spirit.
Why does darkness fade over light?
