Somewhere out there,
Someone is crying.
Someone is hurt.
Lost.
Afraid.
Somewhere out there,
Someone is looking up at the sky.
They have tears in their eyes.
They are alone.
Lost.
Afraid.
Somewhere out there,
Someone is broken.
Someone is cold.
Lost.
Afraid.
Somewhere out there,
Someone can fix them.
They are also broken.
Lost.
Afraid.
They have tears in their eyes,
They are looking at the same sky.
But they lost each other,
They are cold.
Lost.
Afraid.
Somewhere out there,
Someone is dreaming with a broken heart.
Lost.
Afraid.
Somewhere out there,
There is someone.
Happy.
Protected.
Somewhere out there,
The sun is rising.
A new day is beginning.
Happy.
Protected.
Somewhere out there,
Someone is hurt.
Blaming themself,
Hurting more and more.
Lost.
Afraid.
Somewhere out there,
Someone has finished.
Lost.
Afraid.
Alone.
Somewhere out there,
Someone is okay.
Happy.
Protected.
Together.
Somewhere out there, someone is okay. At the same time, someone is out there hurt. Someone is having fun. Someone else is miserable. Someone is enjoying themself. Someone else is hurting themself.
Teenaged suicide rates in the U.S.A. have gone up as much as 18 percent in the past year. If we don't try to help, who else can we turn to? At least one of your friends is depressed and suicidal and you don't know it. It may be hard, but even lending an ear or offering a shoulder to lean on can make a big difference. We might not all understand how hard it is to live life that way, but we can help make it a little less hard. TWLOHA is a foundation dedicated to helping people with depression, addiction, eating disorders, and many other things.
Remember: Somewhere out there, someone is suffering. But rescue is possible. Love is the movement. Wake up, you're alive, and we're on your side.

We all need help. And the only way to help yourself is to help each other. We can pull through.
