School

School is a place
Where we should feel safe
It should feel like a second home
We pratice fire drills or lock downs or escape routes
We think that a school shooting will never happen to us
Like why this school out of all the others
That's probably what the 19 students and 2 teachers thought
At their school
And what many others thought before it happened
We should prepare 
For the worst
As this may happen to us
As we leave for school in the morning
And say goodbye to our parents
It could be the last time
We ever see them

  • Today's Fears

    Teens are afraid
    We worry
    Do I look okay?
    What do they think of me?
    We obsess over how we look
    We worry that we're not thin enough
    We think we need to be skinny and perfect to fit into todays society 
  • In the distance

    In the distance
    Lies a magical fantasy land 
    Where objects talk 
    And dragons fly
    Where dreams come true
    The clouds are cotton candy
    The trees are made of chocolate 
    It's an escape from reality
  • As the Sun Begins to Rise

    As the sun begins to rise
    The birds stretch their wings and wake everyone up with their singing
    The foxes and wolves yawn and stretch
    Ready to look for their next meal 
    As the sun climbs the sky
