I remember when I asked you,
October 2, 2017
what if something happens tonight?
I remember when you,
rolled your annoyed eyes
there is zero chance that something will
I remember thinking,
anger flooding my brain
I bet that no one ever thinks it’ll be them
I remember mourning,
the 50 people who died
they never saw it coming
I remember the anxiety,
following me to every concert
maybe tonight someone snuck through
I remember praying,
looking around at all the strangers
I shouldn’t have to fear for my life
I remember shaking my head,
wanting you to listen
we need stricter laws
I remember our fight,
your exhausting arguments
guns don’t ****, people do
We had to write a political/protest poem
