Oh Julia,

Why not forget those hateful memories?

They haunt you when you close your eyes

You call for help,

No reply

Julia,

You’re just ten,

Yet you are traumatized

Witnessed the moment when both of your parents died

You crawl to the living room,

Not knowing what you might see

BANG! A gun shot went

Your father never knew of what that might do

You lost your mother, now what’s your father going to do?

Your father smiled at you and pointed the gun to his head

BANG! Now, both of your parents are dead.

You lost your mother,

The one who lights up your world.

You lost your father,

Left you without a word.

Now what will you do?

You, only a ten-year old child,

What will you do?

You crawled towards the two lifeless bodies

Laying between your two love ones

You close your eyes

Never wanting to see your parents die
