     My name is Lucy Danto. I am in the eighth grade at the McCullough Junior High School in Texas. Please, if even for a brief moment, let my voice be heard. 

How did we get here?  
With a man who lies  
and stirs the storm,  
who turns hate into headlines  
and power into a joke.

It's out of our control

And so we'll sit and watch

As a despicable man

Takes

And takes

And takes

"Stay strong" 

"Don't give up"

"There's power in silence."

People ask me,

Why do you love music so much?

Making music

Playing music

Listening to music.

I thought about it, and

I really love how it connects people.

People who are so different

I take the pain you left me with,

and make it into art.

The only thing left of me,

is this ugly scar.

I've put a noose around my heart,

It's trying to restart,

Growing up, music was always a constant. 

Then, it meant very little to me. 

It was only background noise, but always there.
