sleeping in an empty lot
because you mean a lot

run away
eat bologna all day

church fire raging
children screaming

he breaks his back
wants to get his life on track

could not take the news
ran out like the devil was on his shoes

it was unloaded
shirt is blood-coated

both of them within hours
everything is falling like towers

This is obviously a poem I wrote about The Outsiders in Ponyboy's P.O.V. (by S.E. Hilton) it's a great book, I would recommend it. Even if you didn't read the book I hope you liked the poem!
