I am Mariana Drake. I am my mother and father's daughter. I am the younger sister of Hayden and Adrian. I am Alianas big sister. I AM loved. I am important.
I say these phrases over and over and over, until all that's left of me are the ruins on the floor, drowning in tears.
I attempt to calm down and start again. I am... I am... I stammer out.
I.... I....
AM........NOTHING...
I AM NOBODY...
I AM WORTHLESS...
I AM ALL ALONE...
These phrases sear through my mind, and they fill me up.
I become nothing but those words.
Soon, I'm struggling to breathe, my mind whirling. I stumble to the safe in my room, unlock it, and pull out the stolen pills.
"It's the only thing that keeps the pain away." I sadly said to my friend, as she handed them to me.
I pop a couple into me mouth, and just like that, I'm numb; if only for a little while
