I hate living.

I want to die.

I hate living.

It's so hard to live.

No one's honest, no one is truthful.

I'm at the bottom of the totem pole.

I should have ended it this summer.

But I so stupidly held on for something else.

I held on for a change, a sign, something that I could have felt like I was at home.

But there was so home, just a shoddy facade of what a family looked like.

I don’t belong there. I don’t belong anywhere. No one cares.

No funeral, no tears.

I’m ready to go.
