I'm running and running
But its coming to fast
The fires are stunning
And the bombs still blast
Cant move faster, cant feel the ground
I know I'm screaming, I'm crying
So afraid to fall down
So soon to be dying
I hear the guns coming this way
I hear the screams in the night
I wish so hard for the light of day
I wish that I could take flight
Again and again I feel the pain
Now I beg you, give me death
Everywhere I look, ghastly bloodstained
Monster, take my last breath

This came out very good, but I don't think the end sounds quite right. Almost like too much effort was put into it though it's still very good.
Do keep it up, I must read more of your work.

wow love, this is very, very well thought out, very deep, very emotional, in line 14 is gove supposed to be gave? and in line 15, ghastly blood-stained what?? is blood-stained referring to monster? other than that slight confusion, i absolutely loved it

its supposed to be give, thank you. And ghastly bloodstained is referring to every where the speaker looks. Basically what I had in my mind when writing thais was a child running down the streets hearing these bombs and guns. Everyones dying and hes trying not to get caught. ITs night time, hes seen blood and the fires from the bombs make everything look red, like blood. In the end the boy gets caught and, well we know what happens there
