I was murdered
not assassinated
I wasn't a martyr
just a victim they published postdated

"19 year old girl dead..."
Friday,July 31,2020

But I died Wednesday morning
Funny, ain't it?
to die the way you lived: mistaken ?

"...cause of death was blunt trauma..." ,it said

WRONG!
Because I remember the bullet piercing my head.

So no, I wasn't assassinated
just murdered
No one rebelled
No one rioted in my name...which the papers misspelled
*sigh*

I don't want an ode to my life
just an obituary...
