We are three months into 2018. There have been 18 school shootings since January 1st and plenty of emails have been sent about potential threats and weapons being found on school. There has been on average, 1 school shooting every week this year.
A few days ago, I was stuck in a room for over two hours, praying that everything was going to be okay. We had 15 cop cars on campus due to someone overhearing a conversation where a gun in a bathroom was mentioned.
This is a poem I wrote for every school I know or have heard of with a shooting or threat of one. These aren’t even all that have experienced a situation like this. If I’m missing a school, comment below so I can add it.
This is for:

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
Central Michigan University
Great Mills High School
Woodcreek High School

Fearful
Something must be wrong
If we’re afraid to leave home
Saying “I love you” to our families
Praying to God it won’t be the last time
If we’re afraid to leave home
Saying “I love you” to our families
Praying to God it won’t be the last time
Everything seems so normal until it’s not
Not knowing what to expect when we hear the sound
Is it real
Is it a drill
Not knowing what to expect when we hear the sound
Is it real
Is it a drill
Fearful for our lives
This is not okay
We need a change
Something needs to be done.
