I'm Not Ready To Die!

by Jenni Marie   Sep 15, 2006


I went to school today
i didn't know that my world would turn Grey!
I was a good girl i did my homework
i didn't know someone would go berserk!
I was on my way to class
when i heard shots and blasts!
Then i saw him he wore a mask
he was adamant he'd finish his task!
He got me and a friend in his sight
he gave us such a fright!
He fired one shot, then two
as the bullets shot towards us i wondered what to do!
Then i noticed my friend was in the line of fire
what to do? the situation was so dire!
I had to make a choice
but should i save myself or listen to my inner voice?!
That voice was telling me to save my friend
even though for me it could mean the end!
I shoved her to the right
I felt something hit me, gasped and began to lose my sight!
The world began to fade as i hit the floor
i could see it all around me, blood and gore!
I felt my heart begin to weaken
this couldn't be the way i was finally beaten!
'Stay with me,' i heard my friend say
'Don't do this, you're going to be okay!'
My chest felt tight
How could this happen? This wasn't right!
I felt my friend's tears fall upon my face
as she felt my heartbeat lose it's steady pace!
'You saved my life,' she whispered in my ear
I could see her wipe away a tear!
The tears were falling thick and fast
This day had passed so quickly, it couldn't be my last!
My world once bright was now a dull Grey
i couldn't go yet, i had so much more to see, to do and say!
My heart struggled slow and unsteady
'Don't let me die,' I thought. 'I'm just not ready!'
I want to see my friends and do my hair
This just isn't fair!
I want to find a boyfriend and a job
i don't want people to hurt and sob!
I want to find true love
not just watch from heaven above!
I want to see who I'm going to become
i don't want my time on Earth to be done!
But that man succeeded in taking my life away
On this sad, horrid, hate filled day!
That man clearly didn't think about my hopes and dreams today
as he proved when he blew my life away!
