Why? Poem by katie norton

That violent act
Can ruin light and day
Dark and night
And its here today

The last breath she takes
As the sorrow seeps in the form of tears
And she falls to the ground
As that fatal shot dies off into the distance

We sit around wondering why
Why this hurt
Why the pain
Why the loss
Why, why, why?
Why would she do this?

Then the note tucked beneath her explains
Explains the torture
The violence
His hurtful actions
And explains her sorrow

She said she had no where to run
But I am here
To stay
And knowing I could have helped
Makes me cry
Why, why did she take her life away
Why
Why
Why
Why is there this madness,
On the soil we live
It could be you next
To be a victum
Of this violence
But why
Why violence
