A Poem by Anna Charlie

Just another day
More beings created while others go outdated
Growing old seems harder around here I can literally hear the sirens now running to rescue situations feared
Shooken
Shaken up
Still going somehow still awake right now, feeling so abrupt
Because to lose another life
F**k
Yeah she was just my age
Young and wild, generic term now,
Could show you where it leads
But it hurts
It hurts to see
Everything I’ve ever known bluntly unfiltered around me
It’s always been bad but it’s growing worse
It’s getting hard to leave your home without a weapon to see who will hit first
Who really deserves it?
Who is guilty with no charge?
Just trying to make it out of here, even with the tears i feel, raging against a breaking seal, someone help it’s obviously near
The fire, the smoke
The shot, the wound;
The knife, the hole
The body, the blood;
The way it works, the earth is hurt
Save her
Save her dying dirt.
But I guess you could say it’s just another day
More beings created while others fade
Listening for heartbeats, sounds so faint
Help me make something good of this place.
