Bam, bam, bam

Clutch on to your phone tightly
but hug the ones squeezed next to you tighter
the sterile school air that you breathed in for so long doesn't taste the same
Text your mom
text your dad
your shaky hands struggling to hit send
the thumping of your heart engulfing your ears
silently marching on your chest
ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum
like your unstable breaths
Warm salt burning streaks down your cheeks
bam, bam, bam
like the sound of your heart, but different
ringing out in the halls
ringing in your ears
bam, bam, bam
Your sweaty palms covering your own trembling mouth
eyes widened
you and the others shake in the corner of the room
bam, bam, bam
running hot and wild are a stream of tears
running hot and wild like your mind
running hot and wild like the gun
bam, bam, bam
Close
closer
ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum
your hearts racing faster now
Who is next? Me next?
bam, bam, bam
