** A poem I wrote about the Virginia Tech shooting**

Waking up like any other day, getting ready for class.
Not having a clue, that today would be their last.
Students with dreams and high ambitions.
Dreams Soon to be cut short because of his mission.

A man seeking revenge, his anger spiraled out of control.
Not stopping until he reached his goal.
Time will not heal the pain caused by today
The memories of all the lives will never go away.

A man seeking revenge, put many people to death.
Taking away their every breath.
No one understands how someone could do this, or why.
No one saw it coming, no one had the chance to say goodbye.

Families left with a pain they can't bear.
Many people left with the feeling of despair.
The day of April 16th 2007
Many young angels went through the gates of heaven.

    It was a good poem. But I have a suggestion in the third stanza you repeated 'No one' three times in just one stanza so I'll suggest changing one of them to "nobody" but it's just a suggestion :) anyway flow was okay for me choice of words is good! well done. 5/5!
