I am not scared when you tell me to hide

I am not scared when you turn off the lights and lock the doors

I am not scared when the windows are covered and the room turns black

All I hear are voices around me filled with hope as they say,

“I hope this is just a drill”

All I can do is sit and wait

But what am I waiting for?

I am not going to sit on the floor when death comes knocking on the door

Tell my mother I love her if the bad man comes

and tell her

I was not scared

We tried to make it work

You and I just didn't seem to fit 

I thought you were the missing piece to my puzzle

In reality you belonged to somebody else's jigsaw

Her heart raced as his hands found hers

Her heart raced as he placed a kiss upon her cheek

Her heart raced when he whispered the one thing that was like a bullet to the heart

"Goodbye"

And then a tear fell. 

I wish that people didn’t disguise themselves as roses.

Pretty to look at but once you get to close

They hurt you, thorns and all.

Who knew something so beautiful

Could sting and make you cry in a matter of seconds

People are like roses

You only see what’s on the outside

But your curiosity starts getting the best of you

So you peel away the petals

And the rose shrinks.
