Tyler

I awoke the next morning, dreading having to go to school, knowing I would be alone all day. Not that it was different at home, I practically live alone because my family is never home. My siblings are always out partying and my parents never leave work. I groan, and get up to get ready for school.

I walk the halls, trying to get to my first class when I bump into someone.
"shit, sorry" I mumble and look up.
"whatever bitch" the taller girl retorts.
I make my way to class, already knowing this day would be like all the others, I go from class to class, unnoticed by everyone, and then I go home. This was a daily routine, and I was used to it. I didn't mind it, actually, it was better than having to worry about other people throughout the day. As I was on my way to lunch, I saw Josh walking alone, which was surprising, as he always had someone with him. He flashed a smile at me, and I smiled back. fuck, I thought to myself, he is so hot. I walked into the lunch room, got my lunch and left. I ate outside, because I had no friends, quite literally. I sat down, and ate quietly, enjoying my surroundings. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my Instagram feed until lunch was over.
I practically crawled back into the building, even though i was on two feet. I was overly happy on the way to my next class, music. I had always had a passion for music, whether it was writing it or listening to it. I was so lost in thought that i didn't even notice when Josh Dun was right in front of me. He was talking, I snapped out of thought and listened.
"T-Tyler? Hey!" Josh said confidently, "why weren't you at lunch?"
I sighed and explained that I ate outside, and Josh looked confused. " I don't have friends." I said defeatedly. " look Josh I need to get to class, but I'll talk to you again?" and with that I walked away.
"For your project this quarter," The teacher began, "You will be writing a song and preforming it in front of the class." I felt a rush of happiness and worry. Writing a song was easy, but preforming it was a whole other story. The teacher announced that we may start now, and handed us all paper. I quickly began, writing down a song I had already written.
I quickly wrote "Guns for Hands" at the top of the paper and began writing.

I know what you think in the morning,
When the sun shines on the ground,
And shows what you have done,
It shows where your mind has gone,
And you swear to your parents,
That it will never happen again,
I know, I know what that means, I know.

That you all have guns,
And you never put the safety on,
And you all have plans,
To take it, to take it,
Don't take it, take it, take it.

I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep,
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep,
But I can't, but I can't when you all have,
Guns for hands, yeah

I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep,
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep,
But I can't, but I can't when you all have,
Guns for hands, yeah

Let's take this a second at a time,
Let's take this one song, this one rhyme,
Together, let's breathe,
Together, to the beat,
But there's hope out the window,
So that's where we'll go,
Let's go outside and all join hands,
But until then you'll never understand.

The song was far from finished, but I was happy with what I had done so far. Class was over all too soon and I had to go home. I was so tired that I went to sleep without going on tumblr, missing a message that had been sent to me.

an; it's 12:30 am so this probably sucks ass but oh well
