"I have to get up, but I'm so weak...
My thoughts are overpowering. 
Am I letting them take control of me?
Maybe."

"It is 2:07 AM. It is 2021, in March. I should check the date, but I am weak and tired. I'm willing to work for my future. I am willing to sacrifice everything to complete my goals. However, the other children mock me. They ridicule and laugh. That I can hardly tolerate. I go to a school for those with mental and social difficulties. That's why I know it's not their fault when they lash out in anger, or try to ignore their own pain by causing me emotional hardship. [REDACTED] has severe anxiety and anger issues. [REDACTED] is playful, but unaware of how rude she can be. Others I don't know, I am just an object they can mock to relieve their struggles. To them, I am nobody."

"But one day... I want to be somebody."
