Gas Mask, a poem by Madi Frank, 11

Gas Mask

Madi Frank, 11

One last breath
Take it in
One last moment
Life flashes by
Never going to see the light

Break the silence
Shrieks for their life
Put it down
Never going back
I can’t breathe
Smoke fills the air
You can’t see the light
Will it ever end?

Face full of fog
Can’t see anything
Dizzy
Light headed
One
Two
Three
Gone
