Amidst the Turmoil

The streets erupt with anger's cry, Yet here I stand, unsure, shy. With every shout, with every yell, I shrink within, my voice a shell. Sirens screech, a discordant tune, In the chaos, I feel marooned. Tears mix with smoke, a bitter brew, As I stumble forward, not sure what to do. Fear tightens its grip, it holds me tight, In this riot's embrace, I lose my sight. Through the haze of uncertainty, I sway, In the chaos, I'm but a stray. Amidst the turmoil, amidst the strife, I stand alone, in the throes of life. In the heart of the riot's tempest wild, I'm just a lost soul, a frightened child. [End]
