Fire Escape
Smoke filled the air.
My lungs couldn't bare
Hard to breathe
You couldn't see
Scared for when we had to flee
Packing
For maybe a eternity
As I sit in the gray car
Sun glowing red
Feeling blank minded
Hot tears rolling down my face
This was very hard to take
Though I didn't know there was far more
Crashing glass and knocks on doors
Breaking into the empty home
Thankful that my house was one they did not rome
Nearby houses were left empty
Valuables all off to where they were heading
They tried my house
But decided to move on to another place of bedding
Now it wasn't just wild
They were being planned
Throwing from the window
Trying to set
On the dry grassland
Right on my very own road
Somewhere I thought they would not go
Not knowing there plan
But I knew burning peoples home was not something that affected them
Like it was a game
One they liked to play
Something that was fun
In that hot blazing sun
To much to think
To much to see
To much to even dream
Wondering will my house burn down
Will I keep having to move around
When will I have my own soft bed
To lay down

This is something that happened to my family that was very hard for me and my brother. It was something that was very scary and unforgettable. It is something me and my family hope to never experience again.
