Murderer Poem by Rachel Brewer

Being alive means taking responsibility.
Taking responsibility for everything.
For yourself, for others and for the world.
You can be anything you want to be.
A leader, a follower, an outsider.
You can even take things into your own hands.
Your life, keep it or take it away.
Or other people’s lives. You can take them away too.
Just remember, that if you take their life,
You accept responsibility.
You say ‘I killed them, ’
And you become,
A murderer.
