One of you took my best friend’s life when he felt it was easier for him to die than to live in a house he could never call home. One of you sits in my student’s closet; waiting, waiting, waiting… for the day when he feels like he has finally had enough of his parents’ fighting. One of you took my little girl’s hopes and dreams away;
All because
she wouldn’t
do what the
strange man
told her to do,
so he pulled
your trigger.
