Written for a highschool English class assignment.
Bullets flying past
Enemies moving fast
My eyes are blurry
Noise all around me
I’m running very swiftly
My knees fall beneath me
I fall to the ground
Perched upon a mound
Soaking in the rain
I cry out with pain
Feeling my blood flowing
Through the open wounds
Thinking it’s a sniper … Knowing
Buildings lay in front of me
Searching for the sniper
Spotting him suddenly
Looking through his scope
He is praying for hope
Crawling down a hill
Sniper hoping for a kill
A second shot is fired
My body is growing tired
In my mind I know
This rain will soon turn to snow
And I will be left for dead
Or unfortunately shot in my head
Hours flying past
My adrenalin rushing fast
Looking back through my past
Wondering what I have done
Into this person that I have become…
