Dear You,
It hurts. My body aches, I'm tired of the beatings. Why'd they adopt me?
Karen wanted a son.
Jorge wanted a punching bag.
I want to die.
I haven't been eating. I have no one. Karen is oblivious to everything. I only go to the library once in a while now.
The librarian is worried. I asked if she could find books about suicide for me. She was reluctant. I lied telling her that I'm working on a suicide project.
I hate her though.
Let me read what I want.
I hate Jorge.
I hate Karen for wanting a son.
I hate you.
I love you.
I hate myself.
Love,
Porter
