I am..

I am the girl who has been shunned by all the people she once trusted.

I am the boy who slit his wrists because the pain was too much to bear.

I am the mother who buried her baby after only sixteen years.

I am the father who never could imagine how it felt to watch your child be drained of life.

I am the friend who hung herself after she didn't see the warning signs.

I am the brother who holds his sister tight as she bleeds on the covers.

I am the sister who frantically dials 911 praying they make it in time.

I am the nurse who watches the broken family cling to each other.

I am the teacher who stares at the empty desk everyday trying not to cry.

I am the scout leader who wishes she had known what was going on behind those eyes.

I am the pastor who doesn't know what to say that could possibly help the family.

We are the people who didn't know what you were thinking and now that we do, wish we could turn back time.
