On Dying In A Mass Shooting by Joanne Olivieri
On Dying In A Mass Shooting Bloody Chaos The door swings open rapid fire storm ensues my body hurls to the ground chaotic screams deadly thunder pops permeate bitter air pockets and I lie still. My friends, classmates scattered around me breathing dust, residue a warm sea of blood mingles with others saturating wooden floors and I lie still. I am slipping away soaked in death blood tears escape my eyes and I cannot see fear embodies my being I cannot move and I lie still. Mom and Dad, I love you my friends by my side, I love you don't let me die in vain resist the hate, the fear do it for me, do it for us the chaos stops and I lie still. All I ask is why, please tell me why why, why? And I lie still forever. Website: Joanne Olivieri Website
