Another Day
we had some laughs
stuck in detention class
opened our hearts like friends
yeah, I believed we were friends
I knew you were troubled
but fuck, so was I
didn’t give it a thought
until I saw your eyes
walking down that hall
I said hi
shook you out that trance
told me to leave the building
I felt you were brilliant
carefree when no one was watching
not that you didn’t scare me
when you were in silence mode
I said fuck them all, but I didn’t mean it
there is a better part to humanity
you played with guns like toys
no one taught you responsibility
guess I just cared too much
I thought about life
from the bunnies to the bodies that fell
why do they not matter to you?
is reality complacent to ones view?
they’ll say you were mental
maybe a terror
but misunderstood
even in the next world
it was like nothing
like another day for you
one shot, two, and again and again
blood on the floor
screams echoing like a movie
everyone wants to know
could something more have been done?
that’s what brings me chills
a simple yes

A simple yes that's complicated. Deeply compassionate piece, my friend. Always when it's too late they ask the questions and make speculations. So much could have been done if they'd only opened their eyes and taken the time.

It does take a village to raise a kid, or kids. Unfortunately some people put their wants over lives. As if their excuses, and ignoring the problem does anything.
I think maybe because it’s hard to face reality. So rather then talking and coming up with solutions, some act as if it’s not really a problem.
I see some of these kids that say nothing will change. And it’s true because some people will not just admit that more needs done. From how classes are run to how people raise their children. I always say some things are not a political issue, some things are just issues we need to deal with as a whole.
Thanks so much for reading, friend 😁
