School Violence

I am afraid,

I am afraid, that I will never see the day

The day where I give my kids away

The day where I walk down the aisle in style

Because when I walk the halls I often imagine myself fall

Fall to the floor from the bullet that entered my skull

I look and stare to see which exit is nearest over there

So when I hear the shots ring through the school I know to beware

But alas, all I heard was the two-minute bell

Not the shots of an MK-47 propel
