It was just past 3am when I awoke to distant screams
My half awakened mind hoped that this was all a dream
When they busted down my door, I arose fully from my slumber
They threw me to the floor as they were screaming out my number
The chaos must’ve shocked me because I never thought to fight
They threw a blind over my face and led me out into the night
My pleas were met with silence as they dragged me through the streets
They demanded my compliance as they shackled both my feet
My sobs died down to whimpers, and I finally heard the sounds
There had to be hundreds of us, chains dragging on the ground
They herded us like cattle to a damp and moldy room
I didn’t need my eyes to feel the ever pending doom
A sorrow and despair you couldn’t possibly conceive
So thick in the air, that I could barely breathe
Deafingly loud whispered prayers of desperation
No answers would be found, in this place of true damnation
I closed my eyes and took a breath and exhaled out my fear
Everything would be ok, it’s all becoming clear
I accept my fate with head held high, if its meant to be
I’ll be called courageous when this goes down in history
Tell my mom I wasn’t scared, that I smiled in the end
I’ll bring hope to broken souls, I’ll be their greatest friend
I will be romanticized in some epic hero’s tale
This may be my final day, but in the end I will prevail
Honestly, the reality is, I wish this was the case
My final breathes on this earth, were not blessed with as much grace
I would be nobody’s hero, I’m nowhere close to brave
No one will ever hear my story, as I lay in a mass grave
One bullet to the back of the head, I never saw their face
Moments later I was dead, just like that… erased
Truth be told, I was terrified, as I choked on my own blood
Now my story lays forgotten with my body, in the mud
