Deep Down

Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Days

I don't care anymore,

School,

Friends,

Life.

I don't have the reason to talk anymore,

So I stay silent.

I don't want to try anymore,

Because my life is a failure that,

Only causes other and myself pain

( I'm sorry mother).

I feel so dead inside,

"Enjoyment,"

"Happiness,"

"Fun,"

Those words are so Foreign to me ,

Of this never ending time.

"Mother,

How was work today?"

"It was wonderful dear,

I think I have enough for you to go shopping,

With some of your friends."

"No need,

Why don't you have some dinner."

No matter how tired she was,

She would smile a smile that made my heart swell.

No matter how tired,

Or worn out she was.

"Thank you, Rachael."

She kissed my forehead,

"Now get onto bed now,

It late,

And don't stay up so late for me again."

While I walked away,

I heard the slightest sigh.

I closed my room door behind me,

Went into my covers

And tears flooded my face.

That was how I fell asleep,

Woke up,

And lived.
