Past 
Written by: Mariah 

This a poem about Noin's past I hope you like it. 


My mind races back in time 
before the academy 
before my teenage years 
into my past when I was young and full of innocence 
My mother her sweet smile 
My father his sweet laugh 
My brother his sweet voice 
can only be heard 
but then my life shatters 
My mother her smile fades 
My father his laugh stops 
My brother his voice can no longer be heard 
only the pulling of triggers 
the cry of people and bullets combined 
could only equal one thing 
death 
I search long and hard screaming and crying 
Mother! I shout......no answer 
Father! I yell out...... still no answer 
Brother! I scream...... more silence 
and then blood all over the streets 
people calling out to the ones they love 
just as I had 
a mother holds her dieng child 
then I see their bodies 
Mothers covered in blood a bullet wound in her forehead 
Fathers right side blown from a grenade 
and Brother lieng on the ground bullet wounds all over 
but why him what harm could come 
from a mere four year old child 
then my mind is back 
in my hotel room.
