A Little Innocent Teasing [Unfinished]

A Little Innocent Teasing [Unfinished]

A Poem by Mercury Mirrors
"

This was inspired for the contest about school shootings. But I don't think this is quite what they're looking for. This is more on a personal note because I know how it is to be teased. ^^ I wasn't always an angsty goth kid who no one messes with. I was

"
We came to school to learn today,
We had no idea the price we’d pay,
All for a little innocent teasing.
 
You think it’s cool, you think it’s fun,
Till you’re staring into the barrel of a gun.
All for a little innocent teasing.
 
A shaking hand makes the death toy rattle.
The eyes you look into show an internal battle.
All for a little innocent teasing.
 
You plead & you beg, on trembling knees,

Whisper softly to them “please?”
All for a little innocent teasing.

 

The war in their eyes stops suddenly,

Now they stare at you, cold, & sullenly.

All for a little innocent teasing.


You hear the trigger being squeezed,
Your muscles tense up & your heart seems to freeze,

All for a little innocent teasing.

 

"Your times up" His hoarse voise rasps,

You hear a -BANG- A gurgling gasp.

All for a little innocent teasing.
