Imagine a world full of happiness, where everyone is happy, where everyone is not afraid of expressing themselves, where everyone is free to do anything they want to do. I dream of that, but it seems so far away. I wish I was God, I wish I could change what I want to change, I wish I could be accepted.

Those words linger to my head as every single minute of my life. But maybe if you know me, you won't even recognize me as alive. Doing things that I need to do, not I want to do, just to please everybody. Life is just a lie.

But what if you're given an ability to change everything. An opportunity to be God? Would you pick it or would you stick to the reality you're trapped in? Maybe you'll accept it. Maybe I would also. We all wanted to. Maybe some are just humble enough to refuse it. But deep inside, it's what we lust. Because of such hardships we experience in life. That at some point we wished to be like Him.

Maybe some of us would want to end thier lives, maybe you're thinking that by ending it you would feel no pain. Maybe I would also. But what's drawing you back? Is it conscience or is it that you're afraid? I don't encourage you to end it, but I want you to think of it.

This is a story, a story of you and me, and everybody else feeling the same way.
