It's a shame to see someone reach a moment when everything is so overwhelming that they'd prefer to cease their breathingΒ Β than to feel it for another second.

It's even worse to understand that the only time you actually see it is after a blade or a bottle of pills; or maybe a gun or some rope.

You only know it when you read the scrawled out goodbyes of the quiet girl who seemed to have everything right in life.
But still you never truly know.
You never truly feel her pain.

This is for the ones who couldn't make it.
For the ones who had it hard and couldn't push on.
Those who fought with everything they had until there was nothing left.
The ones who felt they were never good enough, or that no one cared.
And for the ones who were never given a chance.

I'm sorry for the hate you endured, the pain you felt, and the people who didn't see. Or those who chose not to.

I'm sorry for the moments when all that was holding you back was a song, or a band, instead of a loving hand.

I'm sorry we couldn't be there.
You are not forgotten.
We as human beings don't learn well from things. But maybe we can see and understand, as a whole, that things need to change. Society is ruining the lives of the people around it. Suicide is a serious issue and it's ever growing. How many people will it take, how many lives does it take, to finally bring forth some change?
R.I.P. to all those who have brought their own deaths.
I feel great sorrow for anyone who it has affected.
And I'm here for anyone who may be struggling.
