"Life for you has been less than kind/So take a number/Stand in line/We've all been sorry/We've all been hurt/But how we survive/Is what makes us who we are." -'Survive' by Rise Against

Been one year since that fateful day

When you took your own life away;
Right then your future-cut short-was bought

And there was only one single shot,
You were found dead

With a bullet in your head;
Since then we have mourn,

Your death in our hearts like a thorn;
Only if we had sooner heard,


Your actions could have been deterred;
Now though your death is our regret


And never will we forget.
