"YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING AROUND THIS HOUSE."

That's where you're wrong mom.

You see, I wake up..
Even though I cried the night before,
Praying to God I would die in my sleep.

I get out of bed...
Even when insomnia wraps me up in a blanket and deeps me into the sea of depression.

I fake a smile..
Even though dad left us and he is NEVER coming back.

I face each day,
Even though I feel like killing myself every second I'm awake.

You see mom I hate myself. Everything in me wants to be dead.. but I'm here.. for you..

Mom says she doesn't understand...

But can't you see mom?

Neither do I.
