School Shooting

Many kids fear
And many wont hear
When they come

Have you ever truly ran for your life?

Have you ever heard the screams and cries
The hopelessness in their voices makes me want to stop 
And turn around
I can't seem to stop my feet
I run toward a large building to hide 
But my brain says run

My heart is racing
I left my friends and for a split second I think
Did they run too?
God I hope so

I left them
When the shots rang
I ran
I should've helped them
I should've 

All I can see is a mom run away from her child
Why would she do that?
I run and grab him
But I never stopped running

Even as I put him down and left the gate 
I was crying
Did I really just have to run for my life?

Agony isn't the word
But really, there isn't one
I can't find anyone I know
I'm completely alone

Finally I was grabbed
Someone saved me
He ran with me in his arms and he never stopped
I'm still crying

Maybe next time I wont be so lucky
Maybe next time it will be you
My heart hurts writing this 
But it is all 100% true
