My alarm rings at 6:45
I throw my covers back and get dressed unconsciously
Dreading going to school, I stall
On the path to school I watch the sky
My mind trying to fast forward myself to the 7th hour bell
I walk in at 8:09 and chaos has struck
I see familiar faces spreading like wildfire
Looking for the source of the scatter
I loop the corner as sharp as a tack
I'm roaming as free as a spirit
I hear screams
I hear loud noises
I hear a POW!
I feel my steps begin to slow
I feel my heart fighting for every beat
I see ketchup flowing from my shirt
A burning sensation takes over me
I've never felt such a helpless kinda pain
I see the girl that dropped out of my gym class standing over me
Holding an M-16
Her eyes as cold as the Arctic
She doesn't care
Stepping over my body she aims at her next victim
What could I do?
I was one person
But I watched the shooter
She was one person, but she could do all this
We as one person can do ANYTHING and that makes oneself a threat.
