life/community
Chase Bailey
Community
The community is fake
She is a bad person
Terrible
Full of hate
Takes your heart out
Like a rake
As wild as a jungle
You get hurt
Out of
Bad reasons
You think of friends
Then they commit
Treason
People are
Shadier than
A tree
In heat
You want to run
And have fun
Bang!!
Life is done
As your life fades
You see a light
People say “fight”
You lay there
Happy and free
Don’t be so glee
As you leave
Instead of fight
You took flight
And now
Watch as
Your death
Causes pain
And strife
