Why Me?

I crouch down
I cover my eats and hide my face
Then I ask "Why me?"

I hear the screams
I feel the bangs
Then I ask "Why me?"

Feeling the rage as it creeps through the cracks
The door swings open
I hear a menacing laugh
Then I ask "Why me?"

I look up
Tears pouring down my face
He stalks forward
Then I ask "Why me?"

I mentally curse the world
While praying for hope
I can't shake these thoughts away
As I ask "Why me?"
