Violence
I'm tired of all the violence
I'm tired of all the hatred
I'm tired of hearing about all the innocent lives that keep being taken
This year i think it hit me the hardest
when i lost my own friend to gun
There's been death on the news that lately it doesn't seem to surprise anyone
My other friend was stabbed
I saw it with my own eyes
I cried as he almost bled out, thank god because he's lucky to still be alive
RIP shouldn't be trending, it should not be a frequent event
Kids should feel safe leaving the house, death should not be a fear that were forced to accept
It's no longer just in tv or movies it real it really exists
What people don't realize is that just by living you're taking a risk
So lets put down these gun and knives there shouldn't be any excuse
Because it all seems impossible till its someone you know on the news.
