The Reason - Judy Chae

Hey guys,

My friend wrote a poem the other day for school and I was just so amazed by it that I had to share it with you guys. After getting her permission I've finally had the chance to post it.
It is about Saint Sebastian the patron saint of archery (I guess because of how he was martyred).
Well here you go...


 The Reason 
Judy Chae

I’m standing on the ground and tied to a tree.

The ground is cold like thin ice. A bird is giving me a caution.

I’m going to die now!

Everybody is watching me like a wild animal.

Arrows are coming to me.

While the arrows fly towards me

I think,

Do you know why I’m about to die?

I execute my job

And…

I just close my eyes.
