Supposed To Be

School is supposed to be a safe place to be
I've been proved wrong
I don't like what I see

A scramble, a dread
A horror film
A rush through the head
Please, please don't be dead

Slammed those doors open
Wanted input, now
Want it ASAP
Don't be slow, tell me how

Sat down to hear
Still remember that day
"He's been shot and killed."
Is what I heard that doctor say

Three years later
Wish it was still a dream
I wake up each day
Hoping it's not what it seemed

I miss playing Hot Wheels
Building ol' Lego Models
What close siblings do
What close siblings ought-to

I wish it was still the same
Still wish he was here
Still wish he'd walk through that door
And appear

But everything's different
Nothing will ever be the same
Thought school is supposed to be a safe place to be
But it's not
It's a shame

To another student
Whose name I can't say
My brother's life was taken away

With a simple pull of a trigger
It's not funny, not cool
No one should even have a gun
Let alone bring it to school

I try to let go
To let that day slide
But with each passing moment
There's nowhere to hide

Nothing I can do now
Nothing anyone can say
This wound will never heal
Never be stitched together, no way

With a heavy heart, I say
I miss you, my role model
My brother
More and more, I miss you
With each passing day~
