Virginia Tech Massacre

By Jacquelyn Whalen

As a junior, life was sweet. I had everything I wanted.

Friends, family, and the coolest school ever...

Until that shooter walked in and shot me.

I guess he didn't want me in this world,

Or maybe it was just my turn.

I'm not sure, but I do know

That when I was struck with that bullet,

I was instantly gone.

Everything I had worked for...

I was only a year from graduating from college,

And he ruined it for me... all that I had done

For my school honor society, just everything.

I don't have anything left except for this,

The knowledge that my teachers left me with,

And I will remember it for the rest of time.
