Choices.
Something we must make everyday.
Some good yet some bad.
Good ones,
Stuff people never remember,
Deeds done that everyone forgets.
Bad ones,
Mistakes we will never forget.
Because they ruin what is good.
I have proof,
Because this is the choice I made.
---
Look through my eyes,
Can you feel the hurt and pain,
The intense cry for help.
No.
No one does,
Not you, not a teacher or a friend.
Not even my own girlfriend.
This is how you treat me,
And this is how I feel.
No one cares about me,
So this is how it will end.
She and some of this world will die.
TODAY is the day of rest for you.
Walking into the school,
No one even knows what is going on.
With not even a moments hesitation,
I stepped into a class and fired upon them all.
Moments later,
Exiting the mess,
Guilt kicked in and it was done.
I lifted the gun to my head and prayed,
Forgive me god they are all dead,
And now so am I.
---
The less we care,
The more people die,
Because of killings and suicide.
Take a friend,
Show them love,
Save someones life today.
Because all it takes is ONE bad choice.

A murderous lament....
A blow for anguish and anxiety. This write spotlights the great rift between choices. But choices nontheless. The tone is matter-of-fact and the content is too well known. My favorite part is, "The less we care, The more people die, Because of killings and suicide. Take a friend, Show them love,Save someones life today" because it brings out the public service opportunity to do a job w/o waiting for others and it is inspiring. Thanks a lot.

Wow, what CAN I say ?
This is indeed a very powerful message you have put across in this write. It was such a terrible waste of lives and there are no words to describe how horrid it must have been for all involved. Well done on this one.

Thanks
Thank you so much. I know. So many people waste what is good. I wish I could just get across to people that THEY are the reason that other people do stuff... either good or bad. What anyone does is an influence someway to someone. Thanks for taking the time to read my poem

amazing poem powerfull and full of emotion

This was a very powerful piece with a strong message. Instead of simply lamenting the loss, you explained how easy it is to fall, and how careful we must be. This is a great poem. Thank you for entering.
