All was silent None was home A young girl had returned She hummed a tune With a smile of delight Her brother in the other room Never knew she was there Back from school She twirled in her yellow sundress A paper in her hand That held many colors She had made a present for her big brother Skipping to his room happily She froze at his door curiously There he sat on his bed His head hung low With a gun to his head The girl was rather confused She was nine years old and didn't understand With a click and a pop The blood squirted out A lifeless body fell to the ground The girl's eyes widened in terror She could not speak nor move All she could do was stare at the bloody body milli seconds turned to seconds Seconds turned to minutes Finally, a bloodcurdling scream made its way out As the girl dropped to her knees Crawling forward desperately She touched his once brown hair Matted with crimson red She held him close The blood stained her hands The cops came and dragged her away Despite her screams of protest, they took her brother Her mother came and saw She cried in agony Turning to the girl Her eyes stormed with emotions She grabbed her daughter adn shook her It was all her fault She was told it was her fault It was not supposed to be him But her As the trauma settled in The girl went numb Her tears dried up She could feel no more The girl who lost so much The girl who feared The girl who cried The girl you are pitying now] Was, In fact Me |

What a beautiful and horrible poem! Amazing and gruesome, absolutely sickening in all aspects. Your words are wonderful and the only advice I have for you is start to play around with punctuation. It can add so much. |
