I feel weird turning on the light in my room.
I think I should be sitting in the darkness
I’m breathing hard when all I did was sit down on the bed
But my heart feels so heavy in this moment

A hundred fifty people who didn’t say goodbye
It was a festival tonight
Now I have tears in my eyes

My voice is shaking
My heart is breaking
That’s so many people never going home
My will is shaking
The news was breaking
So many people now just sacks of bone

Hashtag Pray for Itaewon
But I have no one to pray to
The more I hear
The more I fear
Is pray all we can do

I’m too soft for all this hurt
It’s why I never watch the news
I have no god
So prayers from
Me won’t do any good

I have no god
But I feel wrong
That I don’t want
To hashtag Pray for Itaewon

The more I learn about the world the harder
It is for me to believe in your solace
I’m angry that I can’t seek comfort
But you’re the one that’s hurt
I feel guilty for writing about the departed

That’s so many people never going home
So many people now just sacks of bone
I never thought I’d be so hurt by people gone
All those lights went out tonight in Itaewon

I’m writing because I want to lash out about this
But I’m not the one who needs a hug
I’m just confused and hurt and angry at the state of things
How can I pray to some god
If there was one who was watching then wouldn’t they just be the cause
I’m ashamed that I can’t Pray for Itaewon

I’m still shaking
Because I feel so godforsaken
