If I Could Say A Few Words

It was dark and I never knew

Force like that and so terrifying too

I was kept under lock and key

Couldn’t go anywhere except Johan took me

Once I thought it was my turn

Unfortunately I came to learn

Lots of others who had waited there in line

Deserved their place before me so I was left behind

Some how the noise was so much, I just wanted out

And then it came when I least expected it, and there was doubt

Yesterday my friends tore paper and landed in sand

And today I tore the flesh of a man’s hand

Forcefully I left and uncontrollably  

Escaped beyond to Luke’s fragile body

We had all expected one day to rest

With sand around us but not in a boy’s chest

Only 11 years old and I ended it all

Return if I could but I watched him fall

Didn’t have a choice once I was left behind

Sure accidents happen but this one, if I could speak my mind...
