"Darling, why are you sad?"
'I don't know,' she says blankly and with a slight shrug.
"What do you fucking mean you don't know? You have to know. There has to be a reason."
'You do not understand.
There is just something missing in me.
Something they have but I do not.
No one takes me seriously
because no one understands the way that I do.
And no matter how hard I try to turn my thoughts into words
they will still never understand.
You will never get it.
You see, people only view things from their level of perception.
People just want to give me advice
or try to fix me
so that they can feel better about themselves.
And the advice doesn't even help
because no matter how many times people apologize
it doesn't fix how bad I hurt when I end up convincing myself
that no one actually wants me here.'
