Chewing on my Bazooka, waiting for the bell
A bubble big as my dreams, safe inside my shell
Then the lights went out—the room went dim
But the drill kept ringing like it screamed from within
Teacher said, “Play dead. Don’t move. Don’t speak.”
But I didn’t get it, I just felt weak

"Just hold your breath," they whispered low
But my lungs were scared, and I didn’t know
Why the world felt like it was breaking in two
I just wanted to blow my bubble and keep my view

Bazooka, pop, and I blew so sweet
A bubble too big for me to retreat
But the air went cold, my chest too tight
I couldn’t understand why I had to hide
Bubble burst, a pop so loud
Then everything fell, and silence drowned

The teacher said, "Close your eyes, don’t breathe, don’t move"
But my bubble burst, what was I supposed to prove?
Everyone was quiet, so still, so afraid
I just wanted to run, but the words wouldn't fade
My bubble popped, and I held my breath
But I didn't understand why silence meant death

A gunshot cracked through my world, so bright
I didn’t know why I couldn’t fight
I was told to play dead, but I couldn’t hear
I was just a kid, confused and scared
The gum stuck to my lips—too sweet, too wrong
Why did it all feel like I didn’t belong?

“Hold your breath,” they whispered near
While that ringing sound filled up my ears
I thought we were hiding from a game
But no one smiled, and nothing felt the same

Bazooka, pop, and I blew so sweet
A bubble too big for me to retreat
But the air went cold, my chest too tight
I couldn’t understand why I had to hide
Bubble burst, a pop so loud
Then everything fell, and silence drowned

Bazooka’s gone, I couldn’t keep the game
The bubble popped, but I couldn't escape the pain
The candy stuck, the world turned red
Teacher’s voice echoed, but I stayed dead
