Loved this poem, very powerful. I was born in 2001 so I don't remember 9/11 (Gen Z), but I did grow up with everything else, and really feel this. My first school shooter drill was in kindergarten... that shouldn't be normal for a 4 year old to process/deal with. There's so much trauma now for all the current events. Thanks for sharing.

Thanjs for sharing your experience. I'm lucky I didn't grow up with active shooter drills. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I appreciate your comment so much. 💙

Wow thank you for your comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to read. I had to sleep the rest of the day yesterday because of how much it affected me.

I don’t blame you- some of them just suck the life out of you but are so needed
