Careless words pull my trigger 

Thoughtless actions heavy on my shoulders

Anxiety bubbles hot in my chest

While you go on living like nothing has changed

Thousands of lives lost

Mothers with no children

Brothers with no sisters

So far removed from you

There is no reason to care

A year has been wasted

Keeping your distance

Masking smiles

Life must go on 

No matter the cost

The burden is heavy

When it is yours to carry

But it’s hard to see

Through your tainted glasses

We will never return

The future is altered

Your actions now hold all the power
