for a new blog...
and TA DA,
here it is.
Today, April 20th is a day of remembrance,
and dare i say it,
negativity.
History buffs would know this day
as an anniversary of Hitler's birth.
Junkie's would know it as
National "get high day"
[whoever dictated that as a holiday, i would like to speak to you someday.]
but for me, i kept thinking of Columbine,
of those shootings,
of Cassie.
There's a great song by flyleaf
entitled "Cassie" about
well, Cassie and the shootings.
[lyrics at bottom of blog.]
Its amazing how we go through day to day
worrying about who's dating who,
whose saying what,
what to do when,
and when the hour is over...
not even considering
the possibility of what happened that day,
being a reality of today.
Tragedy none the less,
it still inspires me.
The courage to stand up for a belief
THE belief
It somewhat antagonizes me,
because i dont know if i could do what she did.
Iv thought about it a lot over today;
would i be able to resist my natural instinct to survive?
or would i stare death in the face just like my savior did?
Its sad i question my "faithful" persona
but im not strong
as a christian. I dont think.
I try, and fail.
and fail.
and fail.
My witness is shaky-
My influence questionable.
I guess its safe to say that at
THIS point in my life
I'm no Cassie Bernall
Cassie [Acoustic]

The question asked in order to save her life or take it.
The answer 'no,' avoiding death and 'yes' would make it.
'Do you believe in God?' written on the bullet.
Say yes to pull the trigger and my sister, Cassie, pulled it.
They didn't love their lives so much, as to shrink from death.
Inspired in their footsteps, we will march ahead.
Don't be shocked that people died.
Be surprised you're still alive.
All heads are bowed in silent reverence.
The floor is wet with tears of sorrowful rememberance.
The altar's filled with hearts of repentance.
Perfect love kills all fear.
Rejoice in this deliverance!
They didn't love their lives so much, as to shrink from death.
Inspired in their footsteps, we will march ahead.
Don't be shocked that people died.
Be surprised your still alive.
