Feeling Alive

Paul is just 16,
The meanest little bastard you have ever seen.
He looks up to Ricky Dean,
A hustler who’s thwarted what he could’ve been.
The kid has to make an impression,
Has to teach these rival gang punks a lesson…
He grabs the gun,
Takes a shot,
Makes a run…
He’s feeling alive…
Tom is Paul’s older brother;
Once so close, they don’t speak to each other.
Tom was being harassed by some kids in a gang.
Trying to break out, he heard a bang.
Blood poured from his shirt…
Paul didn’t realise whom he’d hurt…
He just grabbed the gun,
Took a shot,
Made a run…
He’s feeling alive…
