20

we wondered why the mist never left and followed us around
we wondered why death comes upon us more often
and we wondered why we didn't know we'd be needing to say goodbye.

we notice kids who are hardly breathing, and don't speak up
yet we still wonder why

we struggle ourselves, and don't speak up 
and we wonder why

this is not a only a Lone Peak problem, 
but a Highland, Cedar Hills, and Alpine thing.

American Fork Hospital has around 20 patients weekly who come in after failed suicide attempts.

it's a lot

So maybe we need to learn to speak up for ourselves and not just others
So maybe we need to take care of us and seek help
And maybe we are wishing on a star

Quotes

  • "I wanna live a little more"-Jane Doe
  • "It may seem odd to think of having a relationship with ourselves, but we do. Some people can't get along with themselves. They criticize and belittle themselves all day long unitl they begin to hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better" -Dieter F. Uctdorf
