I slide to the floor
Holding my hands
Over my ears
Begging and pleading
For them to stop
Crystal teardrops
Clatter to the ground
In rythem
To my beating heart
Beating to fast
For my breath to follow
Rattleing my tiny body
Shaking beneathe the kitchen table
Words fly from their mouths
As a bird flies through the air
They pick something up
Throwing at one another
My little mind cant comprehend
All thats happening around me
Please mommy,
Please daddy,
One question running through my mind.....
Why?
A very tragic reality for many children. A good thought evoking write.
