Shots Fired

Sitting in my room

Chilling 

Watching my show 

When I hear

Kabow-Kabow-Kaboom

Each shot ringing in my ears 

As I hit the floor 

covering my head 

waiting for the shots to end

Silence

I get up to check

Looking outside 

Nothing there

Leave my room 

Checking the camera

Shots fired 

drive by at my house and my neighbors

All wondering why

Walking back inside 

The silence 

deafening

no more shots fired

waiting

Cops show 

searching and looking

nothing they can do 

gone they say

Shots fired 

Lives almost lost 

Driving holes in the concrete 

Shots fired

and I drop

Author's Note

There was a drive by shooting outside my house yesterday, lucky no one got hurt

It's crazy how stuff like this is kind of common. It scares my dog ☹ This poem is great though, I really like the storytelling. Hope that stuff doesn't happen again twin
