I gotta talk

-Okay Guys-

Touchy subject for a lot of people, me included. I swear when I went outside last night to cuddle my dog, I broke down. I told him about everything and cried my eyes out. 

Bear with me, I gotta talk.

Thanks for being so loyal

Sandy Hook

Newton Connecticut

Words that meant nothing to anyone before yesterday

The minute news hit the stands, the world froze

Worse than Nine Eleven, but then, how would I know?

I wan't there, when he lit up the school

No, I had my own classes to go to

Not that I could have done anything, from several states away

I just don't see how life can go on for anyone today

We all know kids around that age

I see them all the time, walking down the grade school hallway

How scared the last one must have been

Watching the man take away all her friends

The police so worried about the investigation, left the babies lying on the floor

The animal shot himself! It's not like we need to know any more!

Fog all around me last night, as I stepped out into the crisp air, how fitting

The sun broke through it a few hours ago. still gloomy where I'm sitting

Nobody's walking the streets, it's a lonely Saturday

Only giving me more time to think my brain away

My Daddy sits over there, not knowing how to put into words

What he's thinking, which is so much worse

He's telling me these things, as I'm typing my lines

Helping him find the words, that sound just right

He says the human race is broken, 

And tells me things in a voice softspoken

It happened so far away

But it feels like we barely got away

Pro-gun, anti-gun using these kids to prove their point

People always believing guns and death are conjoined

It could have easily been done with a knife, or his hands

He could have done it had he not even been a man

Something no teenager wants to hear her daddy say?

He killed a man with a shovel, several countries away

Blame it on the guns, blame it on T.V. 

While everyone's screaming "Don't blame me!"

I'm sitting here, writing my life away

Not knowing how to cope with yesterday

Please, please, please, I'm told there's a God

If there is, why'd this happen? Correct me if I'm wrong

But he's supposed to love us all equally, and treat us like so

What purpose has he to take away a bunch of five and six year olds

Our only signal of remembrance, our porch light

And people remembering left theirs on all night

Question and comment all you want

It won't do much good, they're already gone

I've gotta go, I need to just stop

Sorry if it's too much but thanks for letting me talk
