it sucks that you live so close by,
cuz now whenever im walking with my friends,
even just to the park,
my mom always asks
why im so close to your house.


my own neighborhood is now a battlefield,
and i cannot cross an invisible line
that separates your world from mine.

i couldn't, even if i wanted to.

on the off chance you'd be outside,
or even your family,
or even just the sight of your house,

id lose it.

i know i would.

so my neighborhood is a battlefield, and
unfortunately,

im on the front lines

without a gun, armor, or a shield.

idk if i can call this poetryWhere stories live. Discover now
