The Girl in the Green Sweater MAG
June 11, 2021
Saved lives or took them
Art major or chem
Worshipped heaven or hell
Lips sealed or couldn’t wait to tell
Loved many or none
Did it all for the fame or just for fun
Fought or fled
Friends all over of just in your head
Cried or screamed
Lied or schemed
Lived in or let the moment pass
Drove slow or biked fast
Loved the hood or left
Owned one heart or was a theft
On a normal day out for a meet
Nothing mattered out there on the streets
She stepped off the curb a little too far
And became nothing but the girl
in the green sweater hit by a car.

love this!!!
This one of the first poems I wrote with an end rhyme scheme. It's about the nondiscriminatory and sudden nature of death. I hope you enjoy it!
