Final Night

Final night 

A beautiful day 

And a great night

Music notes dancing 

Keeping our souls alive 

Trying to get to know everyone outside 

Not worrying about going home 

Or worrying about being alone

But loving the unique personalities 

And the vibrant sneery

I started to wish this night would never end

Until godly smiles turned into Devilish cries

Not understanding the mood change 

Or the loud noises that turned my heart cold

I realize the music stop and it wasn't the speaker popping 

But people getting shot 

My heart didn't drop but tucked, ducked, and rolled as if I was on fire

The dead bodies and screams took over me mentally 

For the Gunman stood right over me 

I had no idea I was next until someone rolled a dead body over my chest 

Instead of me being eye to eye with the rifle 

I was eye to eye with death

There was no time to pray or to prepare 

Only time to lay there and wish this night would end

No matter if I wasn't going to be involved with the day

At least I passed the night away. 

If I get through this I only wish someone would have told me this was coming

Because I would've never came out the closet

Instead brought the closet with me

Even though the closet represents one being chained to society 

It was the only thing that was protecting me and always kept me close when I felt alone. 

But for some reason, this experience doesn't make me feel alone. 

We all love each other no matter what we classify each other 

So if none cares I know the LGBT community cares just like a giant care bare

We don't live for money but for love.
