Are we going to be ok?


Friends and I moving on.
Two are going into the military
One isn't good with structure.
One structures everything.

 

People brag on their scholarships,
I watch for chaos in the world.
Bring back our girls.
They aren't coming home.

 

Another school shooting,
I can't close my eyes
Sandyhook Elementary
Widener University

 

What can I do to help?
What can I do to stop this?
Eating disorders
Sucide rates.

 

I'm in a bubble,
That doesn't happen here.
Wyoming High School,
For those who can't look outside.

 

I'm moving on,
Leaving behind the prattle.
Worry about your friends.
No one'll worry about you.
