I know. I did lie.
I didn’t want to see her cry
But I don't deserve to die!
Please! I don't want to fly!
Off this building up so high
She says goodbye
Then pushes me off with one final sigh
I try to yell "Why?"
But my mouth is too dry
I didn't mean to be the bad guy
All I did was comply
And try to get by
Until the day of the drive by
All I saw was a black tie
I felt as if I watched it from a bird's eye
watching the bullets fly by
Instinct took over and I hid behind a good guy
He was only in Junior high
Then died that day
on the fourth of July
I will not try to justify
My actions as I hid behind the guy
Now his sister has cried
And said goodbye
I know
It is my turn to die
I didn’t want to see her cry
But I don't deserve to die!
Please! I don't want to fly!
Off this building up so high
She says goodbye
Then pushes me off with one final sigh
I try to yell "Why?"
But my mouth is too dry
I didn't mean to be the bad guy
All I did was comply
And try to get by
Until the day of the drive by
All I saw was a black tie
I felt as if I watched it from a bird's eye
watching the bullets fly by
Instinct took over and I hid behind a good guy
He was only in Junior high
Then died that day
on the fourth of July
I will not try to justify
My actions as I hid behind the guy
Now his sister has cried
And said goodbye
I know
It is my turn to die
This is not my best poem. I recognize it doesn't sound amazing for parts and I used "by" too much. I shouldn't have tried to rhyme every last word's line.
I wrote it anyways because I couldn't get it out of my head and wanted to write it down, or in this case, type.
I use HelloPoetry to store most of my poems which is why it's on here. I still like how it turned out, enough to keep it anyways.
And yes.. For those of you who have read my poems lately.. I try to make them happy then they end in death.. Not sure why that is. Maybe it's just easier to come up with poems related to death.
This poem is meant to be just for fun. It's not meant to have any deep meaning behind it.
