not dying is my goal
my mother would be pleased 


not dying was their goal too
and look where that got them

I am not the first
but I hope to be the last


children shouldn't be scared for their lives
parents shouldn't have to worry that they're never coming home


I shouldn't be underneath my covers
paralyzed with fear
hoping that I'm not gonna die the next day

no one should have to go through that
especially not children
