If I had known this morning would be the last time I would see my family alive again I might have said more.

More than just Goodbye.

More than just running out the door late for school, after having slept in.

Maybe I could have done something.

But then I think of the kids alive right now because I didn't stay home.

Because I got on the bus right in time.

And sat in four classes before all hell broke lose

These kids with me now wouldn't be here if I had stayed home, I've become something no one would have ever thought.

I was a band geek, a loser a loner that had no friends.

No one expected me to turn into what I am today.

I am Shadow

Protector of all lost children

And we will survive at all costs even if I lose my sanity or keep others safe.
