I am consumed with fear
As I feel a tear
Fall from my face
As my life is erased
With every drop of blood
Flowing like a flood
All the hopes and memories fade
Of the life I had made
What had I done that was so bad
To deserve an ending so sad
I was so young
And my life had just begun
Did I really have to die
Because of someone else's lie?
Is this the way is supposed to be?
But that bullet wasn't meant for me
But as I hear the despair and pain in my screams
I realize this isn't just a terrible dream
My anger boils inside
As I think of all the innocent who have died
For they were just like me
Normal people who just happened to be
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Caught in the middle of anothers crime
The anger I felt begins to fade
As my life begins to slip away
I hope there will someday be a way to mend
The hurt that never seems to end
For the victims of these times
Are not those who commit the crimes
But they are the ones like you and me
Who will never live to see
Their loved ones just one last time
Or ever say good bye.
