True Terror
I don't think you get it
The feeling of
true
terror
The stomach drop
The sharp knife
Going through your chest
And coming out of your back
True
terror
Is something I've never felt before
Not until now
My mind filled with 'What if's'
What if he hurts my babe?
What if he hurts me?
What if he's out for revenge?
What if he tries to go after my friends?
My throat is tight
TRUE
terror
What if
What if
What if
Who do I talk to?
Classmates understand
They warned my babe
Told him to watch out
Protect me
But I don't want that
I don't want him to do that
I don't want him to get hurt
Because of me
I could never forgive myself
What about everyone else
My squad
My friends
My family
They could get hurt
Because of me
But maybe he won't do anything
Maybe he won't be a threat
Maybe I'm over dramatic
Maybe I'm over reacting
I know that's what daddy would say
I know that's what mama would say
I know that's what little brother would say
Did I do something to cause this
Was there something I could have done
To prevent any of this
Or am I just being stupid
People say I'm innocent
That it's all on him
But I'm actually terrified
That I caused it to be my fault
It's been almost a ******* year
And a 5 minute video can hurt me
How can this happen
This ******* *****
This stupid 5 minute video
Brought me terror
True
terror
