The Wakeup Call

There was a hostage situation in my neighborhood last week. This is what I decided to turn it into.

WAKE UP! Says the alarm clock screaming into my ear
I shut the thing off but now could clearly hear
A chopper circling above the house plainly and clear
"Damn! I wonder what happened here?"

Groggy-eyed I get up, my head still spinning
"Shoulda went easy on the drinking.
Good God! What was I thinking?
Why's there red and blue all around my house blinking?"

"This is the police! Slowly come out with your hands in the air!"
"What the hell? What do I have to do with what happened out there?
Hold up! I needa find something to wear!
I'll be out soon I swear!"

I open the door to find blood splatter all over the place
Bodies littered all over in every space
I watched in horror, felt the blood drain from my face
Every memory from last night was all a faze.

I walk into the bathroom, still hearing the cops calling
"I couldn't have done this! This is completely appalling!"
Bodies littered all over the place completely goring
"Someone must have broken in and started assaulting!"

I look into the bathroom sink and see my clothes all bloody
"Man this crap ain't funny
Did I black out? My memory from last night is all fuzzy
I just remember drinking and being clumsy."

"God the hangover is really getting to me"
I say as I try to walk over these bodies I see
Out the windows cops behind cars and behind every tree
"I didn't do this! I somehow have to flee!"

As I look out the window I see more bodies around
Littered all over the ground
My mind is going insane, totally unsound
Vision is more sharper, hearing sensitive to sound.

The adrenaline goes up after every police call to come out
"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" They shout
As I look throughout
My house, blood and body parts everywhere no doubt.

The adrenal rush is so powerfully evil
I feel myself turning into something I can't handle
Something not original
I start going delusional.

My heart is racing as my body crouches on all fours
Everything goes black as I bust out those doors
I fling outside in total full force
Gunshots ring out, I drop like a corpse.

Author's Note

So there is one verse in this poem that I feel I need to work on because I feel that it's not rhyming smoothly. But for now I'm just gonna let it go until I come up with something in the future. This is what I have now.
