This has been a hard year at my school, Sentinel High. Throughout the course of this year there has now been 6 deaths, 4 of which were suicides, and one was murder. I write this in memory of lost lives.

To treasure your memories is not enough
the world will miss you all
promising young lives lost
the most terrible waste of all

your family and loved ones miss you
of this you can be sure
we will remember forever
your lives, which were a blur

racing past us all to fast
never slowing down
until one day you'd had enough
and decided to step down

you took your life into your hands
you seemed to decide
that nothing was worth living for
you gave up on us, you died

we cried then and we cry now
for the loss we all feel
so much loss so quickly
was a blow we all could feel

if we could bring you back we could
we see you in our dreams
we miss you all so teribly
in the school echoes scream

we must say we love you
and dry our eyes of tears
lifes struggle for us continues
passing through as years

life moves on for the rest of us
those youve left behind
we will try to forgive you,
but it will take some time

We miss you all.

One in a sea of millions has the power to change the world...
