2d
I remember when 2nd grade
We had a lockdown
But I had so much to say
So much that I felt it very hard to stay silent

I wanted to know why someone would try and shoot us
And why turning off the lights would stop them

But Mrs jones had just shook her head
And shoved a lollypop in my mouth
(I didn't say another word)

I wish I could do that to my head
It won't shut up
Weird analogy but yeah

Edit- the lockdown was a drill!! I should have specified, sorry. I had and still do have to have them every month. I am so lucky to have not been in a real one though.
