Fight or Flight


They ran for hope and peace, to make a change. They ran so others could believe in something. They ran for the families cheering their names. They stopped when the beast roared. They turned when the screams wouldn't stop. They moved to look for a fight and a culprit. We watched the battle rage on for lives. We pray to a something that only looked, as We asked what we could do to help. The world watches as the battle wages on, The warriors are in our hearts as they find the criminals.

I don't write poems according to conventions, rules, or structures. I use the word vomit in my brain and put it on paper. I like to think of myself as a Wallflower with an overflow of excitement and nerves. I don't feel fear easily, but when I do, it means something.
