Author's Note: As a tribute to the 13th anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings, I wrote this piece. This poem is very symbolic to numbers and yet, the meaning of them are so true. Please comment on what you think the numbers symbolize and maybe... maybe I'll tell you... :)
Twenty.
The life shattering
number.
The number of pain,
The number of shock,
The number of death.
Thirteen.
The unlucky number.
The number of tears
from the rose,
The number of
minutes,
The number of
victims.
One.
The fate or destiny
number.
The number of
seconds,
The number of
anticipation,
The number of
possibility.
Also, this poem seems so short, but in every line, there is a story and a reason why I wrote it.
