is delicate.
breakable.
prone to trauma,
and thus an effortless
vehicle for vengeance.
with a river of pain coursing
through arteries
and slender vessels linked
between the most vital
***** and the source
of thought, emotion
quite often thwarts wisdom.
And, oh children,
a steel serpent lingering
within easy reach
remains ever ready
to strike
at will.

I am 14
I go to school
I do my times tables
I write my essays
I do my homework
I get shot
I am 14
I’m stressed about school
I’m worried about my grades slipping
I’m nervous when talking to my crush
I’m anxious when speaking in front of the class
I’m scared that the sound I heard was a madman with a gun
I am 14
I am confused
I am frustrated
I am enraged
I am scared
I am hiding under my desk trying not to scream
I am 14
I hate school
But for the wrong reasons
I hate it because people have died in my halls
I hate it because every sound I hear is a gun being shot
I hate it because I’m scared I’m going to die
