He said it was suicide I shook at the core What had they to hide And what was it for?
You laid on the tracks You let the train hit you What caused you to act? And why do I miss you?
When I was 11, a boy from my neighborhood and around my age was hit by a train. The story was that he had been walking and listening to music and didn't hear it coming. It terrified me that someone my age had died and I promised myself that I'd never forget him. Years later, I found out it was a suicide and had been covered up. I was suicidal at that age and it just deeply saddens me that he felt the way he did. I wish he was still here, or that I could have done something. I will do everything in my power to build a better future for other people struggling.
