About the Poem
My poem was inspired by the school violence we are all subjected to at this time.
Ode To My Killer |
| by Kelli |
| Before you shoot, look into my eyes, Can you see the same fear you feel inside? You may see me as someone who has it all, But I have the same fears and hesitations after all. I know your pain and what is tearing at you, For I have the same self- conscious feelings too. So before you shoot look deep and you may realize You see a lot of yourself in my eyes. Before you shoot, think and feel what would it be like, To be on the other end of my strife. Will taking from me ease your pain? Or can we deal with this maybe some other way. Before you shoot come into my heart, Think of all your tearing apart, My life is in your hands it’s true, Do you really want this consequence tearing away at you? Before you shoot or think that thought, Tell me of your pain and what you’ve sought. Maybe you’ll find someone you’ll treasure You never gave me a chance to show what I have to offer. I can only ask these things and it’s all up to you, I have no power, which is what you wanted to do. So now that you’ve got what you wanted to do, Please think of these things before you shoot. |

After reading this poem a tear came to my eye. It really hits close to home. I really enjoyed it and it made me realize that just because we have differences doesn't mean that we aren't all the same deep inside.

This really make you think about things. It really makes you realize about the little things in life and the simularites of us all. After all we are all human beings and we are all living our separate lives but yet we are all simular in one way or another.
