 Pushing throu

really dying
             
 Cried so much

 I heard telep

              
hones, opera h

       
ouse, favorite

 melodies
            
 I saw boys, t

 My brain hurt

 room to spare
           
 I had to cram

 A girl my age

              
 went off her 

              
head,         

 
   hit some ti

 If the black 

              
hadn't a-pulle

              
d her off,    

 
   I think she

 would have ki

lled them
             
 A soldier wit

              
h a broken arm

              
,             

 
   fixed his s
