7: Beautiful Girls by Bayside

One shot is all it takes
One shot to end the world
One shot to end the lies
One shot to end a life.

One life is all it takes
One life to make a mark
One life to make a difference
One life to make a stand.

One stand is all it takes
One stand to call them names
One stand to call them out
One stand to call the shots.

One shot is all it takes
One shot to end the world
One shot to end the lies…

One shot to end the name calling…

One shot to end the sneering…

One shot to end the comments…

One shot to end the pain…


One shot to end a life.
Plans: School shooting. But don’t go for the weird kid, that’s been done so many times before. How’s about, the slightly plain one, the one who’s still got plenty of friends but nothing’s ever enough and they’re still jealous of the so-called beautiful girls. Woot. A plot is born.”
That’s what I typed a couple of days ago when I was trying to plan this. As quite often happens with my writing, however, the original idea got distorted. The theme (Beautiful Girls) has quite blatantly been lost in the process, but the story behind this poem is still in my head, so to me it fits. Anyways, read and comment, please.

I like it. It reminds me of The Kinslayer by Nightwish. It's also about shooting in schools, that was my first association. Really good.
