Today
Today, we’re all Dauntless.
We're all being brave
Clothed in black
and mourning
even if the death was
unidentifiable to your
heart and eyes
It still hurts and
We all can feel the grief
amidst the air
it changes us
it changes the
soft hearted
cold blooded
heart that
stones us
it changes today
so we put on our faces,
and we stand and look up.
Refusing to look down
Can you cheat death?
How many times does this have to happen here?
How many times does one life
have to be thrown into a different
place away from the people who care?
The only answer is to be awake
We now know how precious
Life is
We’re ready for now
for whatever is to come
