Could Have Been Me MAG
May 26, 2022
Starting school in 2009.
274 school shootings
And one could have been me.
I could have been the face
on the screen
A picture trapped in time
a future unseen.
1,536 people killed
A Dreamer, a doer,
a world changer
All taken away
by one common stranger
It could have been me
Taken away
It could have been my parents
Begging me to stay
Children
Whose stories are now closed
But I make sure their stories
Never go untold.
