    About this ebook

    For today’s students, the act of going to school has become frightening, thanks to the seemingly never-ending cycle of school shootings. As a result, students must now focus not just on learning how to read and write, but also how to survive a potential violent act that in mere moments, changes not just their lives, but also the lives of parents, educators, first responders, and medical professionals. In a powerful collection of stories told through poems, Elizabeth Sisk shares a glimpse into the minds of those who are bullied, abused, or simply trying to navigate their way through the years when they are judged based on what they are wearing or who they hang out with. While encouraging empathy and kindness, Elizabeth shines a light on the behaviors that potentially trigger school shootings in an effort to stop past patterns and lead students out of the darkness of these chaotic times.

      Q My mother died last year and I’m still tormented by the fact that, despite all my efforts, she died alone. I’d set up a rota with my family so there was someone with her all the time during her last days, even at night. But when it was my shift, sh

      I don’t even recall any of last year’s resolutions, but it’s safe to say they’d been forgotten by the end of January. Navigating this not-so-new normal is going to take a steely mindset and a strict set of rules. After a blur-year of blur-days and bl

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
