Who is this kid?

Who is this kid?

Someone died tonight

at a movie theatre

Not my son, not your wife

No one lost their life

who you knew

But it could have been, you

there

when

Children fell

into broken seats

on broken dreams

into popcorn mayhem

screams

Who is this kid,

who sat with you

in science class?

Who, you ask?

Was he your neighbor,

the child who hid

under

your curb, disturbed?

Was he the kid who stared past

souls through glass

mirrors

looking

for his own

who lost his will to live

so took

yours?

Who is this kid,

now grown?
