Branded:
Why does it seem like I have
"Death" branded on my heart?
Everywhere I look I see it
Sometimes I can feel it on
A person's that's so close to it
But walking these solemned
Hallways, our teacher dead,
Faculty crying, students doing the same…
And I feel the sadness and shock
Of others well within myself
And break into tears
Upon my cheeks, so hot, so damp
