I don’t know these people, and now I never will. But I don’t have to know them, to know that they are pleading, they are crying, they are begging 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

let me be the last one, let my death bring more than just pain. Talk about me, talk about how I died too young for no reason at all, about how I should have been protected

PLEASE, let me be the last one to join this club

** Side note: there have been comments about how survivors have “stepped up”; they have not stepped up. That is to imply this was their battle and their responsibility to handle; what they have done, is risen above. Risen above the adults those whose jobs it is to protect them and ensure their safety but discarded them and their safety, their innocence and their futures. So thank you, not for stepping up, but for rising above the rest of us and demanding more, demanding better for yourselves and others than others have for you xoxo
