Shot Down – Khalid
You left early. You told me to wait for you until you return with food.
But today, the weather was too perfect to miss my flight practice ma’ma.
I didn’t look anywhere. I couldn’t wait.
My heart was full and singing. So, I jumped from our small, humble home right away.
Fear didn’t really move me, I was flying like the feeling of you.
The wind was all mine. The view from the top never this beautiful.
I was just enjoying my first independence off of the ground ma’ma, and that without you beside me.
But I could also hear my wings make loud whistles of true freedom, the freedom of me.
But they shot me with the painful bullet ma’ma.
The sound of it passed through my stomach and I fell with an unbearable agony — fell with the dread of death, fell with the thought of you. Please! forgive me ma’ma.
I love you.
I will forever love you.
Please, don’t’ look for me ma’ma.
They shot me like they don’t feel anything.
They!
