Step Into Chaos

I grew up in a nice place.

I knew nothing of the world.

I knew nothing of pain,

I was just a little girl.

 

Then I took a step outside,

And the walls fell down.

Everywhere I turned,

Someone was getting shot down.

 

I tried to shake myself awake.

It didn't work I started crying.

Stood still while people were running.

Trampling the dead & dying.

 

I was like a rock in a river.

The crowd flowed around me.

Though many eyes found mine.

Not one of them could see me

 

Blood rained down with bombs,

From a red & black sky.

Not a drop of it touched me,

Something wouldn't let me die.

 

What do they want me to see?

There's nothing I can do or say.

One girl who speaks her mind,

Can't make it go away.

This was really amazing & captured the horror of discovering the nasty world for the first time. =o Now THAT'S frightening. I also love the last two lines, kinda sad but pretty all the same! ^_^
