There’s A Hole In My Soul

Written by

There is a hole in my soul.

An empty place where my friends once played.

Stolen, ripped out by a stranger with a gun.

Why?

How could this happen?

Innocent eyes, trusting, closed forever.

I don’t understand.

Grown-ups, once pillars of stone, tremble and hold us close.

They are anxious, shaken.

So am I.

Insecure.

Lonely.

Empty.

    Imagine having Sandy Hook Elementary School put the sign:
    CLOSED PERMANENTLY.
