It's not like I ever wanted this. I didn't ask to be born, I didn't ask to live. Sometimes it just gets too hard. Life is too hard. Nobody cares, dad doesn't care, mom doesn't care, though I don't blame her, she has bigger problems. What with Dad's drinking problem, the beating every night, and the tight money, I don't think she can take anything else. My mom usually sleeps in my room because she's too scared at night. I always ask her why she doesn't just get a divorce, and she always says "It's too complicated, you wouldn't understand." I'm broken on the inside, my school laughs about it, and the teachers don't care at all. Whatever, if they did it wouldn't make a difference, it wouldn't stop. I'm done with this. God, if you are real, please give me a reason to live, because honestly, I don't think I can continue.
