Life's not about surviving the storm its about dancing in the rain ~ Taylor Swift


An echoing drum
Vibrates through my upturned ears,
And the only sounds
That can be heard
Are the gasps
Of my silent cries.

A few beats take leave
And then,
It happens.

I see the sharp point of its tip,
Its streamline edges
And the glint of silver
As the sun beats against
Its silver, hollow body.

The scent of burning smoke
Enters my conscious
And at the same time
I hear the single shot
As it pierces through the unbroken silence

The sounds of young and old
As they try to escape
The inevitable.

And then it’s me.
The last one.
The only one, that got away.

smile through everything no matter how bad it gets because it could be worse and if it gets worse well then it can only get better. :)

This was very well written and all of the details definitely add to the effect of the poem. Good job!
