dear myself,

it's almost funny that your suicide attempt was in the same month as his, the same week even. i wish that boy didn't talk you out of it. make you throw up all those pills. i wish he just let you die.

no one would miss you. no one would mourn you. you're a burden. your family is just punishing you for existing. they don't want you around.

you are the grime under their fingernails. the dirty gay boy who isn't even a real boy. you're a pretend boy. a make believe boy. a dissapointment to everyone around you.

it's okay. say it out loud.

no one would miss you. and you're better off that way.

stop trying,
finn
