The halls are filled with tears

Flowing freely

Soft voices fill our ears

Speaking carefully 

Discussions every class

Not just about Ally

Suicide: the word at the forefront of all minds

Questions are asked

The struggle for answers are made

The air is tense

But good points are made

We need to change the culture of our school

We need to truly care about each other

We need to manage our stress

We need to use the resources to help us

We need to love

We need to listen

We need to pay attention

We need to be sensitive to each other

We need to stop pretending that everything's okay

We need to learn

Because nothing will ever be the same in these halls

Inspiration: Sorry if this isn't my best, but its what I can do right now.

Ally, a girl at my school, committed suicide a few weeks ago, and I was finally able to write a little bit about what I felt (how I feel).

Although I did not know her personally very well, we did have a connection, and her death still affects me and the ones around me.

And for me, personally, it brings back many memories of dear friends of mine, Noel (I talked about him a little in Revelations) who also committed suicide in middle school.

Please, if any of you need someone to talk to, I'm always here.

And if not me, please find someone you trust (and sometimes writing it out can help too).

If any of you need this.... please contact (California, USA only (I'm pretty sure).... I'm very sorry if u live in other countries that I don't have the info for)
