Endless problems, undying pain...
I am alive, but barely breathing...
Eri is my name. A typical teenage girl with enough dramas on life.
Heartaches, disappointments, betrayal... name it. I've been there.
But, I'm not alone... and I wish I was.

I have a friend. He never left me alone. He's always there for me, whether I'm alone or not. The moment I open my eyes in the morning till I close it on night. He's always there through my thick and thins. We've been friend since I was 10. He's my lifetime companion I can say.
I'm not that proud having him as a friend though. I don't want others too see him with me. I feel embarrassed , maybe that's why. I always smile when someone starts to notice him. Smile...smile and laugh. Probably the best way to hide him.
I tried pushing him away but he's persistent, he never leaves my side.
Oh I forgot...his name is Sadness.

While lying on my bed, Sadness came and introduced his companion. He waved at me and smiled. I gave him a smile too. He offers me a friendship and I accept it. I've got another friend.
He's a friend that will make you feel that its okay not to be okay. It's okay to be sad, to cry, to feel the pain, to be alone,lonely and distance yourself from others to avoid yourself getting hurt. He's always there, even in my worst state. He never leaves me, not a minute.
His name's Depression by the way.

3 years later and the three of us became good friends. I was never alone. I enjoyed the warmth of their presence. My pains,my heartaches, my failures , all of my shits, I'd shared it with them. They never leave me, not a single second.

One day, they introduced their friend to me. He seems friendly and... and a type of person who will accept you no matter what. Whatever you are, you do, and what you've done.
Days passed and I get to know him better. I know that a time will come that Sadness and Depression will leave me. Not now, but soon. But with him, I am certain that he won't.

In fairy tales, a prince will always end the sorrow, the pains, the melancholic feeling of his lady. And they will live happily ever after.

I think I found my Prince. Yes its him.
And finally, I don't have to suffer anymore. I don't have to live like a dead. I don't need to live like this.
Thank you. Coz with you I'm not stranger, I'm not invisible. I don't feel the pain anymore.
Thank you for ending my sorrow, my pain,my worries.
Thank you for saving me.
Good bye to those lonely nights came from the dark.
It was a nice but exhausting life.
I can now rest and sleep... permanently.
Thank you, DEATH.
