carl felt tears in his eyes, he was so stupid for missing school.

he started crying, a lot too.

the mascara he had on from before was now turning his tears black.

"stop crying, you're such a cry baby!"

echos of his dad rang in his mind.

carl sat in his room and cried, he wasnt okay.

he put on some music and shouted the lyrics into his pillow as his own demons attacked him.
