BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

The sounds echo

down the streets

bouncing off walls

twisting turning

i hear screaming invade my ears

i hear people calling

its ok

its ok

BOOM

BOOM

You're not there anymore

You're safe

They can't hurt you

I realize the screaming is me

ripping up from my throat

as my soul screams

demanding it be heard

There is another loud

BOOM

and as it echos

I realize it is not gunshots

but simply fireworks
