Sounds To Sleep By
The sirens pierce through me like a sharpened dagger
something is smoldering in this small corner of my city
the neighborhood is dowsed in dark and treacherous acts
I sit on my bed wondering which direction their coming from
should I duck from the window, will this be the night that a
stray bullet rips through my flesh like a hungry angry violent
virus.
The same virus that has claimed so many lives young and old
too many to count to this date, WHAT IS THIS SHIT!!!
I thought I was immune to the sounds. I hear them all the time
While I watch TV, when I eat , as I write, in my sleep……..
For some reason tonight is different tonight I feel it too
damned deep…. through my thick skin as it penetrates
my soul seeping through my lungs,stiffling the fears I
can no longer express unable to scream.. STOP !!!
Tonight I feel it just too damned deep .
