Today I will die. There is nothing I can do about it now, and nothing anyone can do about it. I know it will happen. I'm waiting now and this is something I hope I'll be remembered by.
Gun violence, gangs, Chicago, home, death, murder, lies is what I know. And this is all I have to say.
Maybe one day things will change and people like me will have homes with families and safety. Maybe one day guns will be used for the right things and children won't learn to drop to the ground when mamas drop pots in the kitchen by accident. Maybe one day it'll be safe and the moon's dark life won't be a curse, but something romantic. Maybe one day there will be smiles.

Running from the gang
In life, we do things we regret, or that we wish we could wipe from our memory forever. At the age of 15, I didn't think I'd regret anything until I was an adult. I considered myself care free. I lived life one day at a time. Well, as much as a 15 year old can. But in life, there are also things that we can't change, that we can't forget. Circumstances change, events occur, and life as we know it is altered forever. For me, it was one night, that set in motion a series of events that I wouldn't be able to forget, even if I tried to. *************************** My life was spectacular, or cool, but I was content, and that's all that mattered. I wasn't overly popular, I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I didn't live in a mansion. I did have a great boyfriend, and amazing friends, and hell, I wasn't doing too bad in school either. But that all changed one night, as I was walking home at night. I witnessed a man murder someone he claimed was a snitch, something to do with a gang deal gone wrong. When I found my parents dead the next day in a serial killers wet dream, my naive self decided the best thing I could do, was run, giving up everything I loved. After 2 years, 3 dead members of the gang and a new school, I was found. When secrets are unraveled and with the FBI somehow involved, nothing is as it ever seemed.Complete
