lessons from vanished lives

Eyebrows are not scrunched.
no frown.
grave face.

A teenager never felt loved.
A teenager felt lonely.
A teenager wanted to scream
The unrelenting pain.

Ran out of options.
Went to school and shot.
At least the pain is over.
At least others can hear my scream.

A teenager hopes now
No one else will hurt.

It is time to wrap arms
around the shivering teenager.
