I can take off my mask now that I have arrived home. I can take off the smile that I plastered to my face. First I finish my maths and science homework and then go downstairs for tea. Mum made my favourite food, potatoes. I can't eat it though. I just leave it and make my way upstairs again. I get changed into some old pyjamas and hop into bed even though its really early. Sleeping is like pausing time and pausing pain. However, I can't get to sleep. My eyes are glued open and all that I can do is stare at the blank ceiling. All that crosses my mind is how lonely I am and how everything hurts for no reason. Although its quiet, a war is going on inside me. I try to dodge the knives being thrown at my heart but they just cut deep into me. Its killing me and I can't take it! I was drowning in my own thoughts as they towered above me like tsunamis. And then it all started to fall apart. Again. I burst into tears. It feels as if I'm falling deeper and deeper, into a sad, dark place that never ends. Suddenly, my eyes manage to close and I fall asleep immediately, tears still running down my face.
