ADYNATON

They said I was guilty and they wanted me to die

I stuck a screwdriver in his eye

I hid in a hole deep in the ground

Waiting, listening, wondering if I’ll be found

I heard the big boots stepping on the grate 

I prayed to God that they’d keep walking straight

The chants of their “entity” filled my good ear

They split my head and filled it with fear

I know humanely it was wrong 

But I did it to escape the pain, dark and long

They screamed “find the murderer and hang her on the gate” 

I hoped I would escape before it’s too late

The man I slew killed my family

My mom, my dad, and my sister, Emily

They were going to take us since we were “different” 

Our fate was decided and finalized in print

As I hid from Satan’s men I’ve heard a loud scream

I cuffed my ear and said “It’s only a dream” 

A gunshot was heard and a thud followed 

A fine young woman, now bloody and hollowed

I bit my hand to keep from screaming 

Because being alive was now my only meaning

I sunk to my knees, my hands covered my eyes 

I just want to live in a world where no one dies
